2. 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 ...

3. Proctor compaction test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctor_compaction_test

   The energy exerted by compaction forces the soil to fill available voids, and the additional frictional forces between the soil particles improves the mechanical properties of the soil. Because a wide range of particles are needed in order to fill all available voids, well-graded soils tend to compact better than poorly graded soils.

4. Moisture meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_meter

   Moisture meters are measuring instruments used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance, as physical properties are strongly affected by moisture content and high moisture content for a period of time may progressively degrade a material. Meters exist for various substances, including wood, building materials, concrete, and soil.

5. 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.

6. Soil moisture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture

   A historic surface soil moisture change in the Horn of Africa from August 2020 - December 2022. Soil moisture is the water content of the soil. It can be expressed in terms of volume or weight. Soil moisture measurement can be based on in situ probes (e.g., capacitance probes, neutron probes) or remote sensing methods. [1] [2]

7. Neutron moisture gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_moisture_gauge

   A neutron moisture meter is a moisture meter utilizing neutron scattering.The meters are most frequently used to measure the water content in soil or rock. The technique is non-destructive, and is sensitive to moisture in the bulk of the target material, not just at the surface.
