Gypsum block sensor

- made of gypsum cast around two concentric electrodes
- absorbs or releases moisture from the soil, until its moisture content approaches equilibrium with the soil
- ideal for irrigation purposes – measurement reflect how much of the water is available to plants, and not only volumetric water content
Quick junction connector

- simple and quick replacement of the weathered gypsum block sensor in the field
- no interruption of measurement due to service – replace and measure
Delmhorst conversion graph
