MadgeTech is proud to be the premier data logger supplier in a broad range of
industries which includes everything from monitoring meat temperatures during
processing to ensuring autoclaves reach the correct temperature during medical
sterilization cycles. However, everyday customers are finding unique applications
for data loggers.
Recently, MadgeTech was contacted by the USDA
Forest Service from the Rocky Mountain Research
Center located at the University of Idaho. They
were in search of a thermocouple based data
logger that could be used to monitor the
temperature of soil during forest fires. MadgeTech's
TC101A's fit the bill and the loggers were recently
shipped to Idaho to be used in the experiment to
determine temperature's impact on destruction and
future growth.
On average, over 7 million acres of land are burned
each year by forest fires, which can provide benefits
such as reducing brush, but is also very dangerous
and can threaten homes and the lives of people and
animals. To learn more about the overall impact fire has on soil, check out previous research here.
In order to record the temperatures at varying depths, a system was created featuring a long tube to
be buried with the data loggers inside. Holes run along the length of the tube for the thermocouples
to protrude to accurately measure soil temperature at different levels.
The study will be conducted later this summer. Check back in early fall to see the results!
