UNIVERSAL CARBIDE METER
STANDARDS: BS 6576 | AASHTO T217 | ASTM D4944
For the rapid and accurate determination of moisture content in soil
sand, gravel, aggregates etc, based on the calcium carbide method.
It is possible to vary the sample weight from 3 to 100 g achieving a
moisture range 50% (3g) - 7.5% (20g) - 1.5% (100g).
The bottle is calibrated and equipped with a surface thermometer.
The glass ampoule containing the calcium carbide is broken when
the bottle is closed and shaken, granting better accuracy to the test.
The instrument comprises the testing bottle with manometer, small
balance, 25 ampoules of reagent, accessories, case.
Dimensions: 520x340x140 mm
Weight: 6 kg approx.

STANDARD: BS 1377:2
Used to determine the particle density of soils containing up to 10%
of particles retained on a 37.5 mm sieve.
It rotates two gas jars at approx. 50 rpm to satisfy BS Standard.
The shaker is equipped with an original friction device conforming
the unit to CE Safety Directive.
Supplied without gas jars to be ordered separately
Power supply: 230V 50Hz 1ph 150W
Dimensions: 550x430x500 mm
Weight: 20 kg approx.

MOISTURE DETERMINATION BALANCE
160 g capacity x 0.001/0.01 g sensitivity with tare up to 10 g.
A028-11
Samples are dried by a infrared lamp with adjustable heat control.
A built-in-timer 0-61 min. switches off the heater at the end of the
drying cycle which is signaled by a bell. Moisture loss percentage
and residual mass are read directly
from the lighted scale.
Power supply: 230V 1ph 50-60Hz
