Laboratory

1. hood permeameter

For measuring saturated water conductivity using the "falling head" method. Performed according to DIN 19683-9

2. air permeameter according to Peth 2004

Air conductivity meter for solving the Darcy formula under steady-state conditions.

3. pF-Lab

Determination of the water retention curve according to DIN-ISO 11274 in sand barrels and over-/under pressure plates

4. dew point potentiometer

For the determination of the matrix potential in soil samples based on the equilibrium to the water vapor potential. Also suitable for measuring the osmotic potential in saline soils.

5. pycnometry

For measuring the solid density of soils according to the Archimedes principle. Also according to DIN standard 18124
