Portable Soil Resistivity Meter

Portable Soil Resistivity Meter

Applications

The S-298 Soil Resistivity Meter is a battery operated, solid state device to evaluate ground conductivity as well as a tool for performing shallow subsurface surveys. Useful in many field studies such as geotechnical site characterization, soil conductivity for corrosion potential and groundwater depth or extent of contamination. Range from 0.01 ohm to 1.1 megohm in 8 ranges with 10% overlap on all ranges. Can be used with 4-, 3-, or 2-pin methods. Single 100 division dial balance for easy readability.
