AUTOMATIC NEUTRON DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF SOIL

UN APPAREIL AUTOMATIQUE DE MESURE NEUTRONIQUE DE L'HUMIDITE DES SOLS

Details are given of a neutron device, already on the industrial market, for measuring and recording automatically the moisture content of soils. The device can be completely programmed. Parameters used for the measurement of the moisture content (measurement taken with a neutron probe) are recorded on a mini-cassette for later use either by computer or manually. This moisture content meter is of great use in agriculture, civil engineering, industry, etc. /TRRL/
