Rapid Moisture Tester

For quick determination of moisture contents of material s inpowder form I.e. soil, sand. coal, pottery, gannister, cementetc. A weighed quantity of the substance under test Is placedin the body of the tester together with a measured quantity ofabsorbent and the tester is then sealed and shakenvigorously thereby bringing the sample and the absorbentinto intimate contact. The pressure of gas liberated byinteraction of moisture in the sample and absorbent actuatesthe gauge which is directly graduated in percentage moistureon the wet weight basis. the weight. A conversion chart Isprovided for converting percentage moisture content on theweight basis to percentage on the dry weight basis. The Unitconsists of pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap rubbersealing gasket, gauge calibrated in percentage moisturecontent to 25% on the wet weight basis, counter poisedbalance for weighing sample, scoop for measuring carbidereagent, bottle of reagent, cleaning brush. Complete inwooden carrying case with handle.
