Soil Thermal Conductivity Sensor

A thermal conductivity soil suction sensor consists of a cylindrical porous tip containing a miniature heater and a temperature sensing element phene et al.

Soil thermal conductivity sensor. After 180 seconds results are. Each tls 100 comes equipped with the standard 100 mm sensor for testing of soil soft materials polymers and easy to drill materials. Tp01 is the leading sensor for long term monitoring of soil thermal conductivity. Soil thermal conductivity testing standard 100 mm sensor.

Figure 1 shows the structure of a thermal conductivity sensor devel oped at the university of saskatchewan shuai et al. 2 thermal diffusivity k is the ratio of the thermal conductivity to the volumetric heat capacity. The porous tip is a specially designed and. It takes accurate readings of thermal conductivity thermal resistivity thermal diffusivity and specific heat in many material types across multiple disciplines from soil and concrete to food plastics lubricating oil and even human tissue.

We have prepared a guide which may assist you in choosing the proper instrument for measuring thermal properties of your material whether it is soil plastics paints composites pastes and fluids. Equation 2 assumes that c 1 is constant with depth in the soil. The needle sensor is fully inserted into an isothermal sample and a measurement is made with the push of a button. Tp01 is designed for long term use at one measurement location.
