Speedy Moisture Meter.
Moisture content of soil is generally measured as a
ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids, expressed in
percentage. As soil behavior depends on its moisture content, it is one
of the basic parameters defining the soil condition. The ‘Moisture’ a
content of soil, can be obtained quickly with reasonable accuracy by
using a Speedy Moisture Meter. The test technique is based on the fact
that water will react with calcium carbide to form acetylene gas. The
quantity of acetylene gas produced is indicated on a built- in pressure
gauge. A conversation formula gives the corresponding moisture content
based on dry weight. Each soil test equipment is supplied complete in a
wooden carrying case consisting of pressure vessel with clamp for
sealing cap, rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge in percentage
moisture content 0-25% or 0-50% on the wet weight basis (6 gm) counter
poised balance for weighing samples, scoop for measuring calcium
carbide, bottle of calcium carbide (500gm), a set of 4 steel balls and a
cleaning brush.
