TDR Probes CS605, CS610, CS630, CS635, CS640, CS645

can affect the accuracy and resolution of water content measurements.
FIGURE 7-2 presents a series of waveforms when a solution with an electrical
conductivity of 1.0 dS m

is added to a soil which has essentially no salt

present. FIGURE 7-3 shows data for solution with high electrical conductivity.
