Introduction:

The portable soil fluxmeter WS0702 is a portable instrument for soil respiration in volcanic-geothermal areas and agronomy. The method was used to study soil respiration rate and soil degassing in volcanic areas in agronomy.

The instrument can measure the flux of 2/4min. The floating adapter of the accumulation chamber can measure the flux in the water-(air bubbles on the surface of the sea, lakes, rivers, wetlands, rice fields, ponds).

Parameters:

Total weight:<8.2kg, backpack type. The operator may carry one of the accumulation compartments and the PDA.

Heating & battery life:

The heating time of 20min is only required when the instrument is cold started. The measurement time range is 2-4min, and a nickel-metal hydride battery (14.4Volts, 2.6A/h) can be used for about 4h. The instrument is equipped with another replacement battery.

Cumulative chamber parameters:

Accumulation chamber A diameter: 200mm; Length: 100mm; Weight: 1.25kg

Accumulation chamber B diameter: 200mm; Length: 200mm; Weight: 1.60kg

Accumulation chamber C diameter: 300mm; Length: 100mm; Weight: 1.75kg
