About This Product
The calcium carbide method gives a quick moisture content reading in the field or the laboratory. A weighed sample is sealed in the pressure vessel with the reagent, which reacts with the water in the sample to give acetylene gas. The gas raises the pressure in the vessel in proportion to the amount of water, so the moisture content is read straight from the calibrated gauge. It is used in soil and materials testing practicals, and the reagent should be handled with care because it reacts with water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the Speedy Moisture Meter measure moisture?
A weighed sample is mixed with calcium carbide reagent in a sealed pressure vessel. The reagent reacts with the water in the sample to produce acetylene gas, which raises the pressure, and the moisture content is read from the calibrated pressure gauge.
Q2. Which materials can it test?
It measures the moisture content of soils, aggregates, dust and powders, and also liquids.
