Plastic suction plates
Plastic suction plates - area-related soil water extraction
Get product information here:
Areal extraction of soil solution for the quantitative analysis of solute fluxes; application in field studies and lysimeters (Excursus: Suction cups product finder)
- Suitable for inorganic solutes with high sorption coefficients
- Heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn), metalloids (As, Sb) and phosphates
- High hydraulic conductivity
- High Bubble Point
- Open-grained polyethylene-structure or polyamide mesh acts as a protective sleeve to obtain a optimal hydraulic connectivity to the water-filled soil pores
- Tongue and groove system allows construction to any size
