Infiltrometer

Infiltrometer

Key Features

• Double-ring design: Outer and inner rings ensure controlled water flow and reduce lateral movement, providing more reliable infiltration results.

• Fast field measurements: Easy to use with no need for advanced equipment — measurements can be completed in approx. 10–15 minutes.

• Integrated timer and measuring scale: Built-in countdown timer and scale for readings in mm/inches make measurements simple and repeatable.

• Robust construction: Zinc-galvanized rings with hardened cutting edges ensure durability and suitability for frequent field use.

• Practical design: Float rod and measuring bracket are included as standard, making installation and readings straightforward.

Application

The infiltrometer is used to determine infiltration rate — how quickly water penetrates soil or surface layers. This helps greenkeepers, course managers, and agronomists to:

• Assess drainage conditions and the risk of black layer on greens and practice areas.

• Determine the need for drainage improvements or changes in irrigation practices.

• Monitor changes in turf structure over time.

Benefits

• Provides fast, objective data without the need for laboratory equipment.

• Easy to transport and use in the field.

• Suitable for both routine measurements and documentation of surface changes.

• Double-ring design delivers more representative results compared to single-ring systems.
