HIGH CAPACITY TENSIOMETERS: PERFORMANCE AND BEHAVIOURS

High Capacity Tensiometers: performance and behaviours

High capacity tensiometers (HCT) allow the direct measurement of soil matric suction, and their major limitation is the occurrence of cavitation.In this paper HCT designs using different ceramic filters with varied air entry values (AEV), varied reservoir sizes, and different pressure transducers are assessed as to determine the impact that each co
