Atago PAL-Soil Digital Soil Moisture Meter – Refractometer 4571

Atago PAL-Soil is a digital handheld refractometer designed to measure soil moisture content using soil extract samples in both gravimetric (0-200%) and volumetric (0-100%) modes. It is engineered for agricultural research, irrigation optimization, and field analysis applications.

The instrument provides rapid results with a 3-second reading time; it delivers higher precision at low soil moisture ranges (gravimetric 0-40%, volumetric 0-60%) with accuracies of ±2% and ±1% respectively, with slightly reduced accuracy at upper ranges. Automatic temperature compensation ensures consistent results across varying environmental conditions without requiring additional calibration. The IP65 protection rating protects the instrument from dust and water splash, enabling reliable field performance.

Manufactured by Atago, the PAL-Soil combines portable dimensions and battery operation, allowing measurements independent of laboratory infrastructure.
