Plant Water Status Console
Plant water potential measurements for samples
Available for laboratory or portable applications, the Soil Moisture Equipment plant water status consoles can be found in plant science laboratories around the world.
- The 3000 Desktop Plant Water Potential Console from Soilmoisture Equipment is also referred to as the Scholander Pressure Chamber, the Pressure Bomb or a Plant Water Status Console.
- The 3115 Series Portable Plant Water Status Console provides a means of quickly and accurately measuring the water status of plant leaves.
Plant Water Status Console
The laboratory Plant Water Status console is a reliable solution for the measurement of plant water stress, available in two versions, with or without a tank:

Laboratory:
The Plant Water Status Console provides a means of quickly and accurately measuring the water status of plant leaves. A leaf or small branch is placed in the sample chamber with the cut end protruding from the specimen holder. Pressure is built up inside the chamber until the pressure exceeds the tension inside the plant material, and xylem sap begins to flow from the cut end. The tension can then be read directly from the pressure gauge. The 3000 must be connected to an external source such as a compressed gas cylinder, whilst the 3005 includes a pressure tank. Sample chambers are available in several different lengths, ranging from 18 cm to 51 cm. Two operating pressure ranges, 0 to 40 bars (PT30-40 and PT30-40N) and 0 to 80 bars (PT30-80 and PT30-80N), are available. A number of differently sized and shaped sealing sleeves and grommets assure that the plant material of interest is safely sealed in the specimen holder, allowing measurements to be made.
Portable:
This Compact Plant Water Status Console, comes complete with 5″ vessel and G4 specimen holder and will operate with a pressure range up to 40 bar. It is equipped with a quick-connect coupling to the air supply bottle (you can select either the -V22 (22 cu.ft) tank or the -V33 (33 cu ft) tank which is included in the set). Ideal for field use because of its compact size (18.5″ x 14.5″ x 7″) and watertight housing.
The 3115 Series Portable Plant Water Status Console provides a means of quickly and accurately measuring the water status of plant leaves.
