CARBIDE MOISTURE METER WK-1
Carbide moisture meter WK-1 is designed to measure moisture
contents of solids, especially building materials like: sand, brick
or concrete. It can also be used as moisture meter for fluids (e.g. oils).
It is extremely useful in cases where the contamination (salinity) or
thick reinforcement prohibit other electronic ways of measurement.
The device measures the pressure of acetylene which comes from the
chemical reaction of carbide and water contained in the sample:
CaC2 + 2 H2O -› C2H2 + Ca(OH)2
The device is calibrated to show the results directly in % of moisture contents.
