Stainless Steel Double Ring Infiltrometer - Professional Kit

Description

The Infiltrometer double ring is a tool essential for professionals looking for accurate data on water infiltration capacity in soils. If you are involved in the maintenance of SPORTS FIELDSagricultural land or to the agronomic researchyou will know that measuring infiltration is crucial for optimising the water yieldand improve the water quality of the soil health. This is why such an infiltrometer will be useful for:

• Optimising water use and drainage

• Prevent waterlogging and erosion

• Improving soil health and crop yields

This equipment, manufactured in high quality stainless steelnot only offers you measurement accuracyThe portable and rugged design ensures prolonged use in adverse conditions. This is a tool you can rely on, ideal for soil surveys on complex projects.

In the infiltration tests, the tape deck in the double-ring method plays a fundamental role, as it allows for the application of a uniform insertion force over the entire circumference of the ring. This minimises the occurrence of preferential channels in the soil-metal contact and ensures that the measured infiltration is representative of the actual vertical flow. Without the use of the plate, small deformations at the edge of the soil often occur, altering the infiltration values and generating less reliable data.

What is a double ring infiltrometer, what is it based on?

Our double ring infiltrometer laptop is a high-precision technical tool designed to measure the infiltration of water into the soil. This measurement is critical in the management of sports surfaces y agricultural landIt optimises water use, avoids waterlogging and improves soil health. Manufactured in stainless steelThis equipment offers durability, ruggedness and portability for use in the field.

Characteristics of the double ring infiltrometer

The double ring infiltrometer consists of two concentric rings that are placed in the ground. This design allows the vertical infiltration of water to be measured while minimising the effect of lateral flow. Its technical characteristics allow for accurate measurements in a wide variety of soils.

• MaterialStainless steel, designed to withstand field conditions and prolong its service life.
• Rings of different sizesAvailable in sizes S, M and L, to suit different types of soil, from sandy to more compacted soils.
• Measuring bridge and buoyIncluded to facilitate accurate field infiltration measurements.
• Measuring ruler: To accurately track the descent of the water during the test.
• Balanced hammerTool designed to insert the rings evenly into the soil without disturbing the structure of the soil.
• Extraction hookProvides a safe and simple method of removing the rings after each test without affecting the integrity of the soil.

Do you have different sizes available?

The infiltrometers we offer are available in different sizesThe sizes are available in a variety of sizes, adapting to different types of terrain and technical needs. Available sizes are:

• Size S: 180 mm and 90 mm
• Size M: 270 mm and 150 mm
• Size L: 530 mm and 300 mm (according to UNE standard)
• Size XL: 600 mm and 300 mm

These options allow precise measurements to be made according to the context and requirements of the project.

Infiltrometer applications on sports surfaces

Raúl Bragado gives us an example of the use of the double ring infiltrometer:

Note: video of our old version of the Infiltrometer

On sports surfaces, such as football pitches, golf o rugbywater infiltration capacity of the soil is essential to ensure a optimal gameplay and avoid drainage problems. With this infiltration meter, maintenance professionals can accurately assess the lawn drainage and adjust irrigation and maintenance practices as necessary.

Prevention of waterlogging

The use of this equipment makes it possible to detect areas with low infiltrationThis information is critical for making decisions about the quality of the turf and the safety of the players. This information is critical for making decisions about aerationdrainage or improvements to the irrigation system.

Irrigation optimisation

Measurements with the double ring infiltrometer provide accurate data on the infiltration rate, which helps to determine the necessary irrigation times and frequencies. On sports surfaces, this contributes to the even distribution of water and to keeping the soil in a suitable condition for intensive use.

Applications on agricultural land

On agricultural land, the double ring infiltrometer is used to measure the efficiency of irrigation systems, whether by flood, drip o spraying. Measuring infiltration is key to maximising crop yields by ensuring that water efficiently reaches the roots and avoids loss through runoff or infiltration. evaporation.

Soil erosion control

The soil erosion is a common problem in agricultural soils that do not adequately manage water infiltration. The infiltration meter allows to identify areas with low infiltration and adjust irrigation practices to prevent erosion, protecting the soil structure and ensuring its long-term productivity.

Adjustment of irrigation systems

With the data provided by this equipment, farmers can adjust their irrigation systems to maximise water use efficiency. This not only improves water efficiencyIt also helps to reduce operating costs by avoiding over-irrigation and water loss in areas where the soil cannot adequately absorb water.

What is included in the double ring infiltrometer?

The portable double ring infiltrometer includes all the necessary elements to perform high-precision infiltration measurements in any type of soil:

• Portable infiltrometers: Rings of different sizes (S, M and L) to suit various floor types.
• Balanced hammerDesigned to insert the rings evenly into the ground without affecting its structure.
• Measuring bridge and buoyTo facilitate accurate measurement during the test.
• Measuring ruler: An essential tool for monitoring the lowering of the water level.
• Extraction hookProvides safe removal of the rings without affecting the soil sample.

This equipment is portable and easy to transport, making it ideal for use in the field, both in the field and in the field. sports surfaces as in agricultural land. In addition, its robust design ensures a long service life, even under difficult conditions.

Practical protocol

1. Insert the rings into the ground with the hammer balanced.

2. Fill both rings with water.

3. Observe and measure the lowering of the water in the inner ring with the measuring ruler.

4. It records the data and calculates the infiltration rate (water/time/surface).

5. Remove the rings with the hook, preserving the integrity of the soil.

Advantages over standard models

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How is an infiltration test performed with the double ring infiltration tester?

For the test, the rings are inserted into the soil and both are filled with water. The downward flow of water in the inner ring is measured to determine the vertical infiltration rate. The outer ring minimises lateral flow to ensure that the measurement is accurate.

2. What are the benefits of using the Infiltrometer on sports surfaces?

The infiltration meter allows to detect drainage problems, to optimise irrigation and to avoid waterlogging that compromises the playability of the pitch. This helps to maintain the quality of the turf and the safety of the players.

3. Why is it important to measure water infiltration in agricultural land?

Measuring infiltration allows irrigation systems to be adjusted to improve water efficiency and avoid problems such as soil erosion or water loss. This contributes directly to increased productivity and reduced operating costs.

4. What types of soils are suitable for this infiltrometer?

The double ring infiltrometer is suitable for virtually all soil types, from sandy to clayey soils. The different ring sizes allow the test to be adapted to the specific soil conditions.
