Frequently asked questions (FAQ) on electrical geophysical equipment and software
Submitted by landviser on Wed, 03/21/2012 - 16:57How to convert conductivity to resistivity?
Are there any difference between LandMapper ERM-01 and other equipment available on the market?
How your equipment calculates electrical resistivity?
How to calculate geometrical coefficient K?
Does electrical resistivity correlate with any soil properties?
Can your equipment measure electrical resistivity/conductivity in soil and water samples?
How to determine the depth of the measurements?
How to convert conductivity to resistivity?
Electrical resistivity (ER) is reciprocal to conductivity (EC) and results can be easily recalculated using formula EC=1/ER or vice versa ER=1/EC. Electrical resistivity is more convenient to use on non-saline soils, where conductivity can be mSm/m, while resitivity measures in 102-103 Ohm m range. 1000 Ohm m equals 1 mSm/m. You can find more conversions to ppm, TDS, grains of salt in this flyer.

Unique compact geophysical devices
Submitted by landviser on Fri, 03/09/2012 - 16:23Landviser's products include portative devices for measuring electrical properties (electrical resistivity, conductivity, and potential) in soils, plants and other semisolid and liquid media. This equipment is small, fully computer-integrated, and easy to use. It is very competitively priced and come handy in many environmental and agricultural applications, including mapping of residential and commercial properties, construction sites, farms, and golf courses.
We can also help you with geophysical equipment and software distributed by our Partners. We develop and conduct online and in-person training classes for our clients and distributors. We sometimes offer used GPS units and geophysical equipment of other companies out of Landviser's inventory. Contact us for comprehensive help for your research and surveying needs.

LandMapper ERM-02 is a newest device in the product line of Landviser, LLC. This portative device can measure three important electrical properties of solid, semisolid, and liquid media: electrical resistivity (ER), conductivity (EC), and potential (EP). Using the most accurate four-electrode principle LandMapper ERM-02 measures ER or EC to help you to delineate areas with contrasting soil properties within the fields quickly, non-destructively, and cost-efficiently. Using the device prior to soil sampling you can significantly reduce the amount of samples required and precisely design a sampling plan based on the site spatial variability.
LandMapper ERM-02 measures electrical resistivity or conductivity of soils and related media for express non-destructive mapping and monitoring of agricultural fields as well as construction and remediation sites. In a typical setting, a four-electrode probe is placed on the soil surface and an electrical resistivity or conductivity value is read from the digital display. The device measures electrical resistivity or conductivity in a surface soil layer of the depth from 2 cm down to 20 m, which is set by varying the size of a four-electrode probe.
LandMapper ERM-02 is the most versatile device in LandMapper series and allows you not only measure ER and EC using artificially applied electrical current and four-electrode probes, but also study natural electrical fields in soils (self-potentials) and plants (bio-potentials) with patented non-polarizing electrodes. Electrical balance between soil and plants is important for plant health and electrical potential gradient governs water and nutrient uptake by plants. Monitoring of electrical potentials in plants and soils is a cutting-edge research topic in the leading scientific centers around the world.
