Soil Moisture Content
UTS-0150 Universal Moisture Tester (Carbide Meter)
The UTS-0150 Universal Moisture Tester (Carbide Meter) uses the calcium carbide method to determine the moisture content of soil. The soil sample is placed into the bottle with the reagent. The water reacts with the calcium carbide and develops a gas pressure, which is displayed on the manometer and easily converted into percentage of moisture.
The Universal Moisture Tester is supplied complete with;
- Carbide Ampoules, 20 pcs.
- Analog Manometer
- Digital Balance
- Hammer
- Chisel
- Digital Timer
- Metal Carrying Case
- Other Accessories

Hydrometer Test Set
UTS-0270
ASTM D422; AASHTO T88
Hydrometer Test Set is used to measure the particle size distribution of very fine materials such as silt and clay. The hydrometer test method uses a soil dispersion mixer, which operates at over 13,000 r.p.m. The mixer comes supplied with a dispersion cup, stirring paddle, an automatic switch-on by positioning bowl and has a 100 W power consumption.
Some items should be ordered separately, including:
- Hydrometer bath
