Abstract
A solid-state device that has recently become available provides a means for easily and very accurately measuring the vacuum created in soil tensiometers, making gauges and mercury manometers obsolete. It is a backward-gauge-type transducer that is compatible with water, screws directly into the tensiometer, has internal voltage regulation, temperature compensation, and signal conditioning, and is suitable for field use.
