Microwave Moisture Meter
Technical Features
This device represents a break- through in modern moisture measurement technology. By utilizing the latest microwave and microprocessor technology, the trident can determine the moisture content of sand, gravel, crushed stone and other fine and coarse aggregate. Simply insert the prongs of the probe into the material to be measured and instantaneously the percentage of moisture content is shown on the easy to read display.
This Microwave moisture meter uses a five prong sensor to measure the complex dielectric constant of the material encompassed by the outer four prongs. As the dielectric constant of water is four to eight times greater than most aggregates, changes in water content directly effect the sensor output. An average of five to ten reading is normally taken in order to ensure a valid reading. This output I then converted by the integrated microprocessor and moisture content is displayed directly as a percentage of dry weight.
The unit comes calibrated for both send and aggregate. It can also be programmed with up to ten different materials by the user. For highest accuracy, the unit should be programmed for the material being tested. Simple to use Win95/WinNT software is provided for calibrating the unit to the various materials.
Finally, it can store over 150 reading. Storage is time and date for complete with the time and date for future reference. Data can be recalled via RS-232 interface to a personal compute running WIN95/WINNT.
