Rapid Moisture Meter

Listing ID #4569218

Features:

We provide highly efficient rapid moisture meter which is basically used for quick determination of moisture percentage of materials in powder form like Soil.

Calcium carbide when comes in contact with moisture acetylene gas in generate. This principle is used in rapid moisture meter. A weighted quantity of sample is mixed with fixed quantity of calcium carbide reagent and the whole mixture is thoroughly shaken in a vessel to which a pressure gauge is fixed. The acetylene gas produced developes pressure and pressure gauge is calibrated to read percentage moisture. The instrument indicates moisture on wet/weight basis easily convertible to dry weight basis.

The apparatus is offered in polished wooden carrying case and includes:

• Pressure vessel with clamp for sealing

Rubber sealing gasket:

• Pressure gauge in moisture content 0-25% or 0-50% on wet weight basis
• A counter poised balance to weigh the sample
• A scoop for measuring carbide reagent
• One cleaning brush
• Set of 4 steel balls and one bottle of calcium carbide (500 gm)
