Consultancy Services

We can offer a range of consultancy services associated with the AquaFlux, as follows:-

Are you unfamiliar with TEWL measurement and want fo get some understanding of what is involved? Do you need convincing that the AquaFlux can do a better job than your current equipment? Do you have an idea involving water vapour flux measurement but are unsure if it will work or not?

In all the above cases, a short feasibility trial may provide a quick and economical way forward. You'll get access to an AquaFlux instrument, measurement caps and other accessories, together with guidance on how to use them in your intended application. Half a day or one day will probably be enough - you can do an awful lot of measurements in one day!

We can make flexible arrangements for feasibility trials to suit your requirements. We can come to your premises or you can come and work in our applications laboratory. We can even perform measurements to your specification but without your direct involvement. Just tell us what you want and we'll send you the results.

We offer on-site training to new users of the AquaFlux. A typical training session takes half a day and follows a pattern of (i) software installation & testing on one or more of your PCs or laptops, (ii) PowerPoint presentation with live demo covering all aspects of AquaFlux use and care, and (iii) hands-on familiarisation.

On-site training complements the AquaFlux Reference Manual and other instruction material and helps you and your co-workers to get the best performance from the instrument. There is no limit on numbers, but we ask you to provide a data projector for training groups of 2 or more. Training sessions are normally conducted in English, but we are happy to run them in Chinese, French or German.

The AquaFlux is a versatile instrument that can potentially be used for many different kinds of measurements on many different kinds of materials. To this end, we have developed a number of measurement caps and adaptors, as listed on the AquaFlux Accessories page. If you have a requirement that cannot be satisfied by one of our standard caps or adaptors, then maybe we can work together to develop one.

The AquaFlux software uses ActiveX components that can be integrated with other software such as corporate databases. In practice, there are often minor incompatibilities between different software systems and we can provide support to your IT people to get the job done efficiently.

We can offer workshop presentations that include seminars, learning materials and hands-on experimentation on a number of topics related to water vapour flux measurement, experiment design and interpretation of measurements. Your place or ours?
