Hyprop Soil Moisture Release Curve Meter

HYPROP is an advanced laboratory and field instrument used to determine the soil water retention curve (SWRC) with high precision. It allows simultaneous measurement of soil water tension and volumetric water content, giving researchers, soil scientists, and agronomists accurate data on soil hydraulic properties. The system uses a combination of tension table and automatic data logging to continuously record soil moisture release curves for both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples. This helps in irrigation planning, soil physics research, hydrology studies, and environmental assessments.

Key Features:

• • Automated measurement of soil water release curves.
• • Simultaneous tension and moisture content recording.
• • High-accuracy sensors for both water potential and volumetric water content.
• • Supports both small cores and larger undisturbed soil samples.
• • USB/data logger integration for easy export and analysis.
• • Ideal for research labs, agricultural R&D, and soil mechanics studies.
