Flow Meters and Environmental Sensors for Precision Fluid Measurement
By Katie Englin Smart Irrigation practices include using precise irrigation tools and good irrigation management decisions for proper irrigation scheduling. Irrigation scheduling is the process of applying water to crops at the exact frequency and amounts needed. It involves studying, understanding,applying, then monitoring and controlling essential instruments such as soil moisture probes and flow meters …

Are You and Your Sensors Ready? While our neighbors in the Southern Hemisphere start preparing for their fall and winter seasons, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are gearing up for the spring deployment of our environmental sensors. Many of these sensors have spent the winter in storage after a full season of work. …
In a world dominated by digital technology, it might seem surprising that 4-20mA water level sensors remain widely used. Why stick to this analog method when digital options are available? To answer this question, let’s delve into how 4-20mA water level sensors work and where their advantages lie. How Do 4-20mA Sensors Work? A 4-20mA …
As winter approaches, it’s crucial to safeguard not just yourself from the weather, but also your equipment. One often overlooked threat is the potential damage caused by freezing water. When water freezes without room to expand, it exerts tremendous pressure, upwards of 30,000 psi. Imagine a closed pipe filled with water—when it freezes, the pressure …
