UGT Tensio 100 Mobile field tensiometer

The Tensio 100 is the root of UGT tensiometer technology and has been continuously developed over the past 25 years. It is a cost-effective tensiometer variant specially designed for simple and fast mobile determination of suction stress in the field. The field tensiomeer sets include a V2A pilot drill for quick installation, a double chamber insert sleeve for safe transport and a practical transport case for the entire set.

What can the Tensio 100 do?

The Tensio 100 displays the current prevailing tension via a mechanical pointer pressure gauge. The overview printed on the back of the tensiometer head allows a quick classification of the measured values even without expert knowledge. It is very well suited for short-term measuring campaigns with many measuring points, for example, for mapping the current tension distribution or for testing and optimizing the irrigation condition in agriculture, as well as for accompanying reference measurements for other sensors (for example, soil moisture) or as a basis for sampling. The tensiometer head is equipped with a pretensioning device to fix the tension value of the first measurement as the "start value" and to shorten the measuring time accordingly. This also serves to vent the tensiometer.
