2. TDR moisture sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDR_moisture_sensor

   A TDR waveguide with exposed wires. In the waveform analysis a sensor (usually a probe) is placed in the material to be tested. The sensor contains a waveguide consisting of two, three, or more parallel wires which is connected via a coaxial cable to a voltage pulse generator which sends precisely defined voltage pulses into the sensor.

3. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

   A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

4. Frequency domain sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_domain_sensor

   Capacitance probe, or fringe capacitance sensor.Capacitance probes use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of the soil. The volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivity of the soil because the dielectric constant of water (80) is much greater than the other constituents of the soil (mineral soil: 4, organic matter: 4, air: 1).

5. Soil moisture sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture_sensor

   A simple soil moisture sensor for gardeners. Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. [1] Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant ...

6. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

   A CPT truck operated by the USGS. Symbol used in drawings Simplified version of a cone penetrometer.. The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy.

7. Tensiometer (soil science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensiometer_(soil_science)

   Electronic tensiometer probe: (1) porous cup; (2) water-filled tube; (3) sensor-head; (4) pressure sensor. A tensiometer in soil science is a measuring instrument used to determine the matric water potential (soil moisture tension) in the vadose zone.
