WP4C
Tech Specs
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Measurement Specifications
Water Potential
Range: 0 – -300 MPa
Resolution: NA
Accuracy: ±0.05 MPa from 0 to –5 MPa
1% from –5 to –300 MPa
1% from –5 to –300 MPa
NOTE: All vapor pressure instruments (including the WP4C) are limited by accuracy in the wet end of the water potential range. The range of 0 to −5 MPa has an accuracy of ±0.05 MPa. For example, a measurement of −0.1 MPa has an accuracy of ±50% of the measurement and a measurement of −1 MPa has an accuracy of ±5%. The WP4C will not measure water potential accurately near field capacity (-0.033 MPa).
