RAPID MOISTURE METER 0-50%

For quick determination of moisture content of materials in powder form i.e. Soil, Sand, Coal, Pottery Slip, Cement etc. Calcium Carbide when comes in contact with moisture acetylene gas is generated. This principle is used in Rapid Moisture Meter. A weighed quantify of sample is mixed with fixed quantity of Calcium Carbide reagent and the whole mixture isthoroughly shaken in a vessel to which a pressure gauge is fixed. The acetylene gas produced develops pressure and pressure gauge is calibrated to read percentage moisture. The instrument indicates moisture on wet/weight & easily convertible to dry weight. The equipment consists of a pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap, rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge calibrated in percentage moisture content 0 – 25% x 1% & 0 – 50% x 1% on the wet weight. A counter poised balance for weighing sample, a scoop for measuring carbide reagent, a bottle for thorough mixing fitted in a wooden carrying case with handle.
