STANDARTS: ASTM D4944; AASHTO T217
The Speedy is widely accepted for rapid, accurate, and reliable moisture tests on all kinds of materials-sand, aggregates, ores, coal, soils, ceramics, abrasives, and other powders. Units are portable, easy to use and do not require a power supply. Samples can be tested on-site, eliminating risk of moisture loss during transport.
LA-3406 is the standard size Speedy vessel, 0-10%mc measurement range, 12 grams sample. It is used for sand, grains, clays and fine powders.
The unit has a die-cast polished aluminum body (pressure chamber) with integral dial. Place weighed sample in the tester with measured quantity of calcium carbide reagent and seal with cap. Upon agitation, free moisture in test sample reacts with calcium carbonate to form acetylene gas. Pressure gauge reads directly in percent moisture by weight within 1-3 minutes.
The Kit includes an electronic digital balance, reagent measuring scoop, one can of reagent, brush, cleaning cloth, and instructions in a heavy-duty, waterproof plastic case.
