The system consists of a low pressure vessel fitted with a pressure gauge Humbolt Model H-4967: Ohaus Scale Item #CS200 (200 x 0.1G): Denver Instruments Scale XP-3000 x 0.1G: and Vertek DCP Data Acquisition System S/N 1300-109. The Series 2000 Speedy® moisture tester is a portable system for measuring the moisture content of a wide range of materials including soils, aggregates, dust and powders (and liquids). The system consists of a low pressure vessel fitted with a pressure gauge and an electronic scale and test accessories. Moisture measurements are made by mixing a weighed sample of the material with a calcium carbide reagent in the sealed pressure vessel. The reagent reacts chemically with water in the sample, producing acetylene gas that in turn increases the pressure within the vessel. The pressure increase in the vessel is proportional to the amount of water in the sample, the moisture content can be read directly from the calibrated pressure gauge. The Speedy has an accuracy of 0.5% on most materials and the gauge can be calibrated from 0-20% moisture, based on wet weight. Test speeds range from 45 seconds to 3 minutes depending on material. The tester is supplied complete with heavy-duty plastic carrying case, electronic balance (0-200g and battery operated, beaker, cleaning cloth, cap, washer, scoop, steel pulverizing balls and cleaning brushes.
