Soil Resistivity Meter

Category: Cathodic Protection, Soil Resistivity Meter

Caltech India is the leading manufacturer and supplier of CES 850 Soil Resistivity Meter / Earth Resistivity Meter with best functions meeting every requirement of meter with an advanced function and variety of measurement methods include determine most practical soil survey procedure and it is best equipment for soil resistance measurement. Best in Industry for corrosion experts including pipeline industry.

This high-quality instrument is most recommended for using the specific resistivity, which is measured by using a normal 2 pin as per ASTM G187, AASHTO T288, 3 pin – Fall of Potential and also 4 pin – Earth resistance meter in accordance with Wenner´s 4 – electrode method in accordance with ASTM G57.

It helps to determine corrosivity using soil resistivity. Soil Resistivity is the primary factor for determining how corrosive the soil is? Lower resistivity indicates a higher concentration of moisture, salts, and chemicals, which allows for easier electrical current flow and, therefore, a higher potential for corrosion. The resistivity data is useful for the specifications of a CP system

The soil box can be used for the measurement of specific resistivity of electrolytes ie. soil sample, water and conducting fluids as well.

Widely used in telecommunications, electric power, meteorology, computer room, oil field, power distribution line, tower transmission line, gas station, factory grounding grid, lightning rod, etc. The instrument has the characteristics of accurate, fast, simple, stable and reliable test.

This soil resistivity meter also helps to 500 groups of data are stored at the same time, and the mobile phone APP is connected through Bluetooth, or the PC is connected through USB to realize wireless or wired remote measurement, reading historical data, exporting report analysis and other functions. It has unique functions such as numerical retention and intelligent alarm prompt。

For using Multi-function Earth resistance tester, It consists of host computer, upper computer software, mobile phone APP software, test cable, USB cable, charger and ground pin.

We also supply Soil Resistivity Tester boxes confirming to ASTM G57, G187 & AASHTO T288 specifications.
