Automated thermal conductivity measurements made easy
Measuring the thermal conductivity of soil and other media can mean the difference between the success or failure of a project.
Thermal properties the simple and precise way
When you need to know how well soil or other media can draw heat or ensure thermal retention, traditional measurement options are time- and labor-intensive. In this webinar, METER product manager Shaun Weldon explores a new, more automated method of measuring thermal conductivity — The VARIOS. He will discuss:
- Why thermal properties of soil need to be measured, and how that led to the development of the VARIOS
- How to measure thermal conductivity at every moisture level
- How this technology is being used in geotechnical and research projects worldwide
- How to measure thermal conductivity and soil moisture release curves simultaneously
- How VARIOS meets compliance standards for thermal conductivity measurements
- And more
