HYPROP system

1.3 Foreword

Measuring systems must be reliable and durable and should require
a minimum of maintenance to achieve target-oriented results and
keep the servicing low. Moreover, the success of any technical
system is directly depending on a correct operation.
At the beginning of a measuring task or research project the target,
all effective values and the surrounding conditions must be defined.
This leads to the demands for the scientific and technical project
management which describes all quality related processes and
decides on the used methods, the technical and measurement tools,
the verification of the results and the modeling.
The continuously optimized correlation of all segments and its quality
assurance are finally decisive for the success of a project.
So please do not hesitate to contact us for further support and
information. We wish you good success with your projects.
Yours,
Georg von Unold
1.4 Expression of thanks
Dr. Uwe Schindler was able to considerably simplify the evaporation
method by WIND by analyzing the evaporation process and the
spatiotemporal decrease of water content inside the sample during
the evaporation process. The results of surveys of more than 2000
samples became part of German and international soil data bases
(HYPRES, UNSODA) and were basis of many scientific studies.
