About Rapid Moisture Meter
The unit consists of a pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap, capacity. Rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge calibrated in percentage moisture content on the wet weight basis, a counter poised balance for weighing sample, a scoop for measuring carbide reagent, a bottle of reagent, one cleaning brush and a set of 4 steel balls for thorough mixing . Complete in highly polished wooden carrying case with handle.
Precision and DurabilityConstructed with a cast aluminium body and nickel-plated sample cup, this rapid moisture meter offers outstanding strength and longevity. Its corrosion-resistant finish allows for reliable performance across varying conditions, making it suitable for both laboratory and field applications.
Quick and Accurate ResultsBy utilizing the carbide reaction for direct gas pressure measurement, the instrument delivers moisture content readings within a few minutes. The clear analogue gauge displays results in the range of 0-25% moisture content, with an accuracy of 0.2% and resolution of 0.1%.
User-Friendly and PortableDesigned for ease of use, the meter is fully manual and requires no power supply. The portable carrying case and compact, handheld design enable convenient transportation and operation wherever rapid moisture detection is needed.
FAQ's of Rapid Moisture Meter:
Q: How does the Rapid Moisture Meter measure moisture content in soil and sand?
A: The meter determines moisture by reacting calcium carbide with water in the sample, which produces gas pressure proportional to the moisture content. The analogue gauge then displays the percentage of moisture based on measured pressure.
Q: What materials can be tested using this Rapid Moisture Meter?
A: This instrument is suitable for soil, sand, and other granular construction materials, making it a versatile choice for both laboratory and field moisture determination.
Q: When and where is this device ideally used?
A: The Rapid Moisture Meter is ideal for quick moisture determination during construction projects, soil investigations, or material testing, and can be used conveniently both in laboratories and directly at field sites.
Q: What process should I follow to operate the meter?
A: Simply add the specified soil or sand sample and calcium carbide into the nickel-plated cup, secure the sealing ring, and shake the instrument. Read the moisture content directly from the dial once the gauge stabilizes.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a hand-operated rapid moisture meter?
A: Key benefits include immediate results, accuracy, durability, portability, and lack of reliance on external power sources. Its robust build and compliance with international standards make it a reliable tool for frequent moisture testing.
Q: What accessories are provided with the moisture meter?
A: The set includes a cleaning brush, absorbent powder, carrying case, sealing ring, and bottles for calcium carbide, ensuring you're equipped for efficient and safe operation of the device.
