RAPID MOISTURE METER (0-25%):

AS PER IS: 2720 (PART II)

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 develops pressure and pressure gauge is calibrated to read percentage moisture.
• The instrument indicates moisture on wet/weight basis easily convertible to dry weight basis

General Description and Specifications:

The unit consists of a pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap, rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge 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 (3 of 12.5 mm & 1 of 25 mm dia.) for thorough mixing. Complete in highly polished wooden carrying case with handle.

RAPID MOISTURE METER (0-50%) Same as above but pressure gauge calibrated 0-50% x 1%.

Spares at Extra Cost: Carbide reagent, in bottles of 400 gms each
