Overview

For on site determination of hydraulic properties
Soil Moisture Iowa State Tension Infiltrometer can be used with disc separated from the water tower, or mounted under the water tower
Requires low volume of water
Easy adjustable tension settings
Flow rates can be determined from changes in height of the water column
Flow rates can also be determined from changes in height of the water column measured with a Tensimeter
