Portable sand moisture meter for sand and aggregates. Precise moisture meter for moisture % and temperature in sand, gravel, crushed stone (1.25 inch).
With SEZTEC HD2® portable sand moisture meter, you can precisely measure moisture content and temperature in all types of sand and aggregates directly in your stockpiles.
Measure all types of fine or coarse sands, such as plaster sand, river sand, bunker sand, granite rock fines, top dressing sand, concrete sand, and more. Moreover, it is suitable for almost all construction aggregates used in concrete production, including gravel, crushed stone, rock, and RAP up to 1.25 inches.
Our HD2® Sand Moisture Meter, equipped with the SONO-M1® Sand Moisture Probe, is designed to withstand harsh site conditions year after year while delivering maximum performance. This rugged device employs patented TRIME® TDR technology, which generates a powerful measuring field that penetrates deeply into large volumes of material, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable moisture measurements.
With over 20 years of expertise, Seztec’s handheld and online moisture probes are the perfect solutions for all your aggregate and fresh concrete measurement needs. Trust Seztec to provide reliable and precise moisture measurement tools that meet the demands of your industry.
The HD2® Sand Moisture Meter overcomes the limitations of traditional moisture measurement techniques like oven-drying or kiln drying. Traditional drying methods typically use a small testing sample, around 500 grams, and take 30-40 minutes to yield results. However, these methods are significantly influenced by stone size; even a single larger stone in the test sample can skew results by 10-20%. In contrast, the HD2® Sand Moisture Meter provides a more reliable and efficient solution for accurate moisture measurement.
With the HD2® moisture meter, your QC officer can obtain moisture readings of sand and other construction aggregates in under 5 seconds, directly on-site. This meter measures the three most important parameters: volumetric moisture, temperature, and conductivity. Additionally, the device automatically averages consecutive readings to minimize measurement error, ensuring precise and reliable data every time.
The HD2® Portable Sand Moisture Meter is 100% modular in design. The SONO-M1® sand moisture probe is detachable from the digital hand-held device for easy replacement or repairs. Furthermore, the sensing prongs on the probe are replaceable as well in case of damage. This flexibility is seldom offered by our competitors in the market. This ensures that your investment is secured on a long term basis and you get unbeatable results and industry’s highest accuracy day-in and day-out for years.
