Over the years we have built a worldwide network of dealers to serve your local needs. From our location in Santa Barbara, California's beautiful central coast, we have reputation of service and quality instrumentation that spans over a half a century of innovation. It all began over 50 years ago when our founder, P.E. Skaling, joined the staff of the U.S. Salinity Laboratory in Riverside, California. While there, he participated in soils/moisture research, and built the first Pressure Membrane Extractor and First Tensiometers (an instrument that is now accepted and used on a global basis).

One such technology is Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR); a process that measures the dielectric constant of materials to derive moisture content. This company is rich in adding new and innovative instrumentation and techniques to research community..
