Envco – Environmental Equipment

Water relationships are among the most important physical phenomena that affects agricultural production or structural characteristics of soils. The Model 1500 is used in laboratory study of these many physical relationships, as well as the extraction of soil solution for chemical analysis. For over 60 years universities, colleges, research institutes, and commercial labs around the world continue to rely on Soilmoisture's pressure plate extractors to meet their needs.

The extended height of the new Model 1500F1 now allows for 4 pressure plate cells increasing capacity by 25%. The model 1500F1 – 15 bar (1500 kPa) Pressure Plate Extractor is the flagship of moisture retention analysis in the 0 to 15 bar range (theoretical wilting point for most plants). Designed to hold up to 48 – 0.4” (1 cm) height samples, 24 – 1.2” (3 cm) height core samples or 12 – 2.4” (6 cm) height cores.

Choose plate cells from 0.5 bar, 1.0 bar, 1.0 bar High Flow, 3.0, 5.0 and 15 bars to suit your needs. You'll need to have a pressure manifold available, or select from our various models in the Air Distribution & System Manifold section of the catalog -of course you'll also need a compressor or compressed air tank as well.
