Dynamax Inc products

After more than 25 years of experience and a worldwide experience with sap flow sensor manufacturing and design, the Dynamax team brings you the latest innovations and sap flow sensor construction advancements. With continuous customer feedback over the years, and through several years of research, we solved many of the commercial and research needs for a more plant friendly and user-friendly sap flow sensor. We improved the longevity, reliability and accuracy with commercial irrigation applications in mind.

The Dynagage Sap Flow Sensors are the latest technology for measuring the sap flow, and thus the water consumption of plants. These energy balance sensors measure the amount of heat carried by the sap which is converted into Real-Time sap flow in grams or kilograms per hour. The sensors are non-intrusive and not harmful since the plants are heated up 1° C to 5° C typically. The principles of heat balance sensors are scientifically proven and references exist for most major crops and many tree species. Unlike other methods, Dynagages require no calibration since sap flux is directly determined by the energy balance and rates of heat convection by the sap flow.

The new SapIP wireless data logging system from Dynamax, Inc., with EXO or Dynagage sap flow sensors, can be used to measure plant water use in “real-time” with no calibration. The SapIP gateway can monitor up to (25) SapIP nodes with (2) sap flow sensors each. The nodes can be located up to 5,000 feet away from the gateway module. Data is collected and analyzed through the Dynamax website for easy monitoring and data download.

The Dynagage Flow32-1K Sap Flow system and Dynagage sensors have been servicing research plant scientists throughout the world for over 30 years. The Flow32-1K software makes working with Flow32-1K sap flow system easier than ever before with built-in algorithms for efficient and faster data analysis. New powerful functions include auto-zero and sensor status built into the datalogger program. Sap flow data recalculation and automatic charting with an Excel™ Macro link makes the system a superior water relations measurement system. Sap Flow has never been this easy and powerful. Dynagage sap flow sensors are the most accurate and reliable sensors available for measuring plant sap flow. Dynagage is now a key technique in modern water management, hydrology, crop studies, plant water relations, and biomass production.

The new ML3 ThetaProbe has extra features, improved performance and a new look. With its 1% accuracy the ThetaProbe continues to set the standard for soil moisture measurement but now also measures soil temperature. With the ML3 ThetaProbe Soil Moisture Sensor it`s easy to make reliable, accurate soil moisture measurements. Simply insert the soil moisture probe into the soil, connect to your data logger or readout unit, provide 5-15V DC at 20mA, and within seconds you can be logging soil moisture. The ML3 ThetaProbe is robust, buriable and maintenance free (environmentally protected to IP68) . It can be easily installed at depth into augered holes using the optional extension tubes.

The DL6 is a dedicated soil moisture logger optimized for use with soil moisture sensors. It can be used with combinations of ThetaProbes and Profile Probes and also accepts rain gauge and soil temperature probe inputs. It is well suited to both research applications and irrigation monitoring.
