RAPID MOISTURE METER

 

For quick determination of moisture content of materials in powder form viz. soil, and, coal, pottery slip, cement etc. Calcium Carbide when comes in contact with moisture acetylene gas is generate This principle is used in Rapid Moisture Meter. A weighed 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 develops pressure and pressure gauge in calibrated to read percentage moisture. The instrument indicates moisture on wet/weight BLS easily convertible to dry weight basis.

 

Specifications:
