How to calculate matric potential using kaolin box (mercury adjustment ). I do have the manual but am little bit confused, I need these parameters to calculate water retention for RETC- Hydrus
I never used such equipament but I belive it already calculated the matric pontential and give the results in units of pressure (hPa, kPa, bar, etc). Did not understand the question. Sorry!
Are you asking how to convert a mercury head difference to other pressure units? Multiply the mercury head (in cm) by 13.6 to get pressure head in cm of water. OR multiply by 1.36 to get pressure in kPa. 13.6 is the density of mercury in g/cc
