I've been MIA-ing for quite some time now working on the workshop.
Well, the workshop is all done now and here's the report on what went on that day.
This is a Probe 12 Datalogger which is used with TDP sensors
TDP aka Thermal Dissipation Probe (Granier sensors) used to measure the velocity of sap in the plant
TDP installed on the branch of a type of vine plant which will then be connected to Probe 12 Datalogger for continuous measurement
Dendrometers for measuring fruit size continuously
HPFM - High Pressure Flow Meter to measure the hydraulic conductance of the plant in the stem and root systems with real time results
A compression coupling is installed onto the root system and filled to the brim with degassed water which will then be connected to the HPFM to get the data on the hydraulic conductance of the root systems
HCFM-XP - Hydraulic Conductance Flow Meter, an extra portable system of HPFM for easy use in the field also with real time data
A smaller compression coupling installed onto the stem of Hibicus and then connected to the HCFM to get the continuous measurement of conductance in the stem systems
Sap flow sensors also known as Dynagage, a patented sensor created and manufactured by Dynamax and here it can be seen with the thermocouples
This is how a Dynagage is installed where it is wrapped around the stem to get the sap flow measurements of the stem of the plant
And most importantly, Mr. Mike Van Bavel who came personally from all the way from USA for this workshop, many thanks and gratitude from us at Labquip
Many thanks to all the participants too who make this workshop a success
Not to forget, all the Labquip staff who came and help in the preparation and attending this workshop, thank you very much. All your work is very much appreciated.
