LVDT Tree dendrometer 6cm SDI-12 output with 5m cable

Price: Price on application

Product Code: DE-1T

Comms: SDI-12

The size of the trunk of a tree increases and decreases with daily transpiration. The DE1T dendrometer consists of a spring loaded piston, the position of which is measured using a highly accurate displacement sensor. Changes in the dendrometer readings can be used to determine the Daily Growth (the increase in maximum value from one day to the next) and the maximum daily shrinkage (the difference between the maximum and minimum value for the time period). In irrigation management, it is this second parameter which is the most important, as the maximum daily shrinkage (MDS) will be higher when plants are well irrigated than when they are stressed. The trunk dendrometers have an SDI-12 interface.
