Membrane apparatus for pF determination of pF 3.0 - 4.2 (1.0 - 15.0 bar). The standard set can hold up to 15 samples.
Method
The determination of the range pF 3.0 - 4.2 (1.0 - 15.5 bar) with the membrane apparatus does not use samples cut in sample rings, but the semi-disturbed sample is saturated before measurement in the laboratory and placed in a synthetic ring.
To reach the high values of the pF-curve, it is necessary to apply pressure, up to 15.5 bar, on the samples, as it is not possible to create that amount of suction force. On reaching the equilibrium at the desired pressure value, the samples are removed, weighed, dried, and weighed again.
For measuring larger series of samples, an additional membrane extractor can be connected parallel to the first extractor.
The set contains:
Additional requirements
Successful pF determination with the membrane apparatus also requires a balance, drying oven and aluminum soil sample boxes with lids.
