초록

주파수 인피던스를 이용하는 ThetaProbe ML2x인 ADR 형식의 토양함수비센서를 적용하여 주문진 표준사, 상주 화강 풍화토, 장수 편마암풍화토을 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 시험의 목적은 측정센서의 측정 정밀도를 측정로드부 삽입 깊이에 따른 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 흙매질은 체적함수비 함량과의 관계를 비교하기 위하여 건조상태와 습윤상태로 구분하여 수행하였다. 측정결과에서 측정로드부가 흙매질 내 5cm 이상 삽입되면 측정전압의 변화폭이 크게 감소하는 것을 파악하였다. 또한, 표준사와 같이 균질한 입자를 가진 흙보다는 점토와 실트 등과 같은 세립질을 함유한 화강풍화토와 편마암풍화토에서 측정전압이 안정적인 형태를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 측정치는 측정로드부가 다공질매질과의 접촉 면적이 커질수록 안정적인 값을 제공한다.

Evaluation of an amplitude domain reflectometry (ADR) type soil moisture sensor as ThetaProbe ML2x using the response of frequency impedance was performed in a variety of soil porous media such as Jumunjin standard sand, weathered granite soil at Sangju area, and weathered gneiss soil at Jangsu area. The tested soils were classified with a dried condition and a wetted condition for comparing with soil volumetric water content under different installed depths of the measurement sensor. In the results the part of measurement rod including one signal rod and three shield rod 6cm in length was found to decrease the variation of measurement output voltage with insert 5cm over into the soil porous media. The measurement output voltage was verified to more stable output voltage under weathered granite soils and weathered gneiss soils contained the fine grain materials such as clay and silt minerals than the gradual grain material like as the standard sands. Therefore, measurement values by soil moisture sensor can be offered the more stable values when an contact volume between soil porous media and measurement sensor increase.
