Thermometer, Soil, Brass Cone

Product Code : SCL-PLE-11632

The brass cone soil thermometer is a specialized immersion instrument designed for precise subterranean thermal monitoring. Specifically engineered for secondary and vocational agricultural programs, it allows students to measure temperatures at consistent root-zone depths. This high-durability tool supports STEM curricula by providing empirical data essential for studying seed germination, soil microbiology, and the effects of solar radiation on terrestrial ecosystems.

Technical Specifications

Educational Benefits & Features

Feature: Machined Brass Conical Tip.

Benefit: Facilitates easy insertion into high-density or compacted soil profiles, solving the problem of glass breakage often encountered with standard laboratory thermometers during field exercises.

Feature: Protective Metal Outer Sheath.

Benefit: Encloses the sensitive glass capillary, protecting it from mechanical shock and lateral pressure, which significantly extends the instrument's lifecycle in high-traffic student laboratories.

Feature: Precision Thermal Conductivity.

Benefit: Brass provides high thermal sensitivity, ensuring rapid heat transfer from the soil to the sensing bulb, allowing students to capture real-time data with minimal lag.

Feature: Integrated Suspension Ring.

Benefit: Enables controlled vertical placement and prevents the thermometer from being lost or stepping too deep into loose substrates, ensuring consistent depth for comparative analysis.

Feature: Permanent High-Contrast Scale.

Benefit: Resists fading from Ultraviolet radiation and abrasive soil particulates, maintaining clear legibility for students throughout multi-year outdoor field studies.

Curriculum Alignment

This instrument is precision-engineered to meet the infrastructure requirements of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Earth's Systems and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) benchmarks for agricultural technology. It specifically supports student performance in analyzing "Earth’s Surface Systems" and "Ecosystem Dynamics," providing the quantitative tools required for advanced scientific inquiry into edaphic factors.
