The Aqua-Check Moisture Tester provides rapid, accurate, and reliable moisture tests on sand, aggregates, and soils. Quickly tested samples on site eliminate the risk of moisture loss during transport. In addition, the rugged, die-cast aluminum unit is portable and easy to use.
The test requires a pre-weighed 20g sample and a measured quantity of calcium carbide reagent go into the test chamber. When the cell is sealed and agitated for one to three minutes, free moisture in the test sample reacts with the reagent to produce acetylene gas. The integral pressure gauge registers 0 – 20% moisture by weight in 0.2% graduations. Moisture range can be doubled by halving the pre-weighed sample weight.
The Kit Includes:
- 0 – 20 x 0.2% Pressure Gauge
- Certificate of Calibration
- Electronic Digital Balance
- 1.25″ Dia. Steel Pulverizing Balls (2)
- Reagent Measuring Scoop
- Brush and Instructions

The pressure gauge and all accessories are compatible with both Aqua-Check and Speedy-brand moisture testers.
