About Rapid Moisture Meter

Introduction: For quick determination of moisture content of materials in powder form viz. Soil, sand, coal, pottery slip, cement etc. 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.
Specifications for 25 The unit consists of a pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap, rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge is calibrated in percentage moisture content 0-25% x 1% 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.
Specification for 50%: Same as above but pressure gauge calibrated 0-50% x 1 %. Spares: Carbide reagent, in bottles of 400 gms each.

Portable and Rugged Field Design

Constructed with an aluminum body and housed in a powder-coated sheet metal case, the Rapid Moisture Meter is built for field durability. Its compact, lightweight form (approx. 2.5 kg) allows for easy transportation, making it suitable for use in remote locations and demanding site conditions. The carrying case ensures all components remain protected and organized during travel and use.

Fast and Accurate Moisture Measurement

The meter delivers moisture content readings in less than five minutes, utilizing a manual chemical reaction process for immediate results. The analog display ensures clear readings with scale graduations of 0.2% moisture, supporting informed decisions directly on-site. Its measurement range of 0% to 25% and accuracy of 0.2% make it reliable for fine soil and sand analysis.

FAQ's of Rapid Moisture Meter:

Q: How does the Rapid Moisture Meter determine soil moisture content?

A: The Rapid Moisture Meter uses a manual chemical reaction involving calcium carbide and a soil sample, placed in an airtight chamber. The reaction produces acetylene gas, increasing the internal pressure, which is then displayed as moisture content on the analog pressure gauge.

Q: What types of soil samples can be tested with this device?

A: This instrument is specifically designed for the rapid determination of moisture content in fine soil and sand samples, making it widely applicable in civil engineering, construction, and site investigations.

Q: Where is the Rapid Moisture Meter best utilized?

A: Due to its portable and rugged construction, the meter is ideal for field use, particularly in outdoor environments or remote locations where quick and reliable moisture analysis is required without any power supply.

Q: What is included in the standard kit provided with the device?

A: The standard kit comes with all necessary accessories: a pressure gauge, carbide holder, a bottle with calcium carbide, a cleaning brush, steel balls, and a sturdy carrying case for easy and safe transport.

Q: When should this device be used for soil testing?

A: It should be used whenever rapid, on-the-spot soil moisture information is required, such as during foundation analysis, quality control at construction sites, or geotechnical field surveys.

Q: Is special training required to operate the Rapid Moisture Meter?

A: No specialized training is necessary; the device is designed for manual operation with straightforward processes, and it includes clear instructions for safe and accurate use.

Q: What are the main benefits of using a manual, non-electric moisture meter in the field?

A: Its manual operation means it requires no electrical power, making it highly reliable and convenient for remote applications. The robust design ensures longevity, while instant results help expedite decision-making on site.
