Demonstration Lysimeter | FluidoSurgeX - 306

Key Features

Key Features

• Independent lysimeter for soil-water balance experiments

• Inclined-tube manometer for precise water gain or loss measurement

• Hydraulic diaphragm system to detect weight changes

• Removable soil and vegetation vessel

• Adjustable manometer inclination for accurate readings

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the primary purpose of FluidoSurgeX - 306?
It is used to study soil-water balance and evapotranspiration processes.

Q2. How are water gains or losses measured?
Water changes are measured using a hydraulic diaphragm system connected to an inclined-tube manometer.

Q3. Can the system be used for plant-based studies?
Yes. The removable vessel allows soil and vegetation to be placed for transpiration and plant water use studies.

Q4. How is calibration performed?
Calibration weights are provided to adjust the manometric tube based on hydraulic system weight changes.

Q5. Is the manometer adjustable?
Yes. The manometer inclination can be adjusted from 0 to 30 degrees and its height can be repositioned for improved visibility.
