Model recommendation: TH-WSY485We are a manufacturer of meteorological and environmental monitoring instruments and equipment. Yunjing Tianhe supports customized services for merchants. You can rest assured that our equipment is selected from Shandong Yunjing Tianhe. Soil temperature, humidity, and salt sensors - understand the operation mechanism of soil ecosystems and provide basic data support for scientific researchSoil temperature, humidity, and salt sensor is a professional device that can simultaneously monitor soil temperature, humidity, and salt content. Temperature measurement usually uses temperature sensors such as thermistors or platinum resistance thermometers to reflect changes in soil temperature by measuring changes in resistance values. Thermistors have the characteristics of high sensitivity and wide measurement range, but their long-term stability may be affected by temperature fluctuations; Platinum resistance thermometers have the advantages of accurate measurement and good stability, but their prices are relatively high. Humidity measurement is based on the relationship between the electrical properties of soil and humidity. Common methods include dielectric constant method and frequency domain reflectometry (FDR). The dielectric constant method reflects the moisture content by measuring the changes in the dielectric constant of the soil; The frequency domain reflection method determines the moisture content by measuring the capacitance changes of soil at different frequencies. These methods can directly and stably reflect the true moisture content of various soils, with high measurement accuracy and fast response speed. Salt measurement determines salt content by measuring the ion conductivity in soil solution. The sensor passes current through the soil solution and measures the change in voltage to reflect the conductivity of the soil. Conductivity is related to the salt content and ion activity in soil, and can indirectly reflect the salt content of soil.
