Speedy 2000 Moisture Tester, 8g Specimen Weight

Speedy 2000 Moisture Tester – 0–50% Range, 8g Sample, ASTM D4944

The Speedy 2000 Moisture Tester is a trusted, portable device used to quickly and accurately measure moisture in materials like soils, sand, aggregates, coal, and ores. It’s ideal for use on job sites, labs, and field testing—no electricity required.

Key Features:

• Measures moisture from 0–50%

• Works with an 8g sample size

• Portable and easy to use on-site

• Delivers fast results in 1–3 minutes

• Uses a chemical reaction with calcium carbide to detect free moisture

• Built with a strong die-cast aluminum body

• Includes a dial gauge that reads percent moisture directly

What's Included:

• Speedy 2000 moisture tester unit (14" x 5.5")

• 2 steel balls for sample pulverizing

• Electronic balance for precise weighing

• Reagent measuring scoop

• Cleaning brush

• Instruction manual

• Heavy-duty plastic carrying case

Note: Calcium carbide reagent is sold separately in 10lb (4.5kg) cans.

How It Works:

1. Place a pre-weighed 8g sample in the chamber.

2. Add the calcium carbide reagent.

3. Seal and shake the unit.

4. The reaction forms gas—gauge reads moisture % by weight.

This tester gives quick, on-the-spot results, helping reduce delays and prevent moisture loss during transport.
