The shear strength, or resistance to shear stress, of the soil depends on different soil characteristics. Our various instruments allow you to measure and determine the shear stress in the layers, either in the field at the soil surface, in a profile well and at the bottom of a borehole, or in a soil sample.
The measurement of water infiltration into the soil is an important indicator for the efficiency of irrigation and drainage, optimising the availability of water for plants, improving crop yields, and minimising erosion. For measuring the rate of infiltration and hydraulic conductivity, we offer infiltrometers, permeameters, and precipitation simulators.
An important characteristic of soil is particle size distribution (granular distribution or texture) or colour. Both agricultural and soil science properties are to a large extent determined by soil texture and colour. Determining the particle size and classification of the soil is essential for assessing the availability of substances to flora and fauna, the behaviour of a substance in the soil, and the determination of soil quality.
