Use of osmotic tensiometers in the determination of soil-water characteristic curves by Liu, Hengshuo, Rahardjo, Harianto, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Du, Hejun

“…The temperature effect on the pressure variations of OTs was illustrated based on Flory-Huggins polymer theories and an appropriate calibration equation was proposed to eliminate the temperature effect on the accuracy of soil suction measurement using OT. The OT showed a fast response in soil suction measurement and the equilibrium can be established in 10–15 min during SWCC measurement. …”
