Speedy Moisture Meter

Accro-Tech Scientific Industries offers 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. The moisture content is one of the basic parameters defining the soil condition. 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.
