HD2® is a hand held aggregate moisture meter suitable for sand, gravel and crushed stone. With SONO-M1® aggregate moisture probe.
Measure Aggregate Moisture with SEZTEC HD2® Portable Aggregate Moisture Meter.
With IMKO HD2® portable aggregate moisture meter, you can accurately measure the volumetric moisture content (%) directly in your stockpiles of construction aggregates, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, grit and other fine aggregates up to 1 -1/4″ size. Control your product quality on-site!
Our moisture sensors utilize patented TRIME® TDR technology that creates a strong measuring field which penetrates deep into a large volume of material, resulting in highly accurate and repeatable moisture measurement values. Seztec’s handheld and online moisture probes and over 20-years of expertise meet all your aggregate and fresh concrete measurement needs.
In-situ product quality control:
It’s important to determine the moisture content of aggregate prior to mixing, because it helps determine the precise quantity of water needed for the mix to achieve the desired water/cement ratio (w/c ratio).
The HD2® Hand-Held Aggregate Moisture Meter overcomes the challenges posed by the traditional moisture measurement techniques such as oven-drying or kiln drying – none of which are consistent or accurate. The drying methods utilize a small testing sample (around 500g) and provide results in 30-40 minutes. This method is vastly affected by the stone size as even one larger stone in the test sample can throw off your results by as much as 10-20%!
With the HD2® device, the QC officer or site engineer can obtain moisture readings of construction aggregates in under 5 seconds directly on-site! The meter measures three most important parameters – volumetric moisture (%), temperature and conductivity. Furthermore the device automatically averages out consecutive readings to minimize measurement error.
