Product Overview

FluidoSurgeX – 306 consists of an independent lysimeter integrated with a hydraulic sensing system and inclined-tube manometer. The apparatus allows measurement of water gains and losses in soil by monitoring pressure variations within a diaphragm tank system. A removable vessel accommodates soil and vegetation for evapotranspiration studies. The system includes calibration weights to ensure accurate measurement of hydraulic changes corresponding to soil moisture variation and plant water use.

Construction & Design Details

The unit is built on an anodized aluminum frame with painted Bakelite and PVC panels. A square-based recipient houses the hydraulic sensing device connected to a graduated inclined manometric tube via flexible PU tubing. The removable container allows filling with soil and vegetation. The diaphragm tank transfers pressure variations caused by weight changes in the lysimeter system. The manometer is adjustable in height and inclination, and a bull’s eye level ensures proper alignment during experimentation.
