The Protimeter Speedy 2000 Standard moisture tester combine the proven accuracy of the traditional pressure test method with the convenience and efficiency of an integrated electronic balance.
Designed for demanding field applications, the Speedy 2000 delivers fast, reliable moisture measurements across a wide range of materials without requiring an external power source.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fast, accurate moisture content measurement
- Simple operation with direct moisture readings
- Rugged, durable construction for field use
- Fully portable with no external power required
- Versatile – Measure a wide range of materials over a wide moisture content range
- Ideal for on-site quality control and geotechnical applications
Simple Testing Process
Unlike electronic moisture meters, the Protimeter Speedy 2000 determines moisture content using a chemical reaction within a sealed pressure vessel. The straightforward testing procedure includes:
- Prepare and weigh the sample using the integrated electronic balance.
- Place the sample inside the Speedy test vessel.
- Add the reagent to the cap recess and securely seal the vessel.
- Shake the vessel to mix the reagent with the sample.
- Read the moisture content directly from the built-in gauge.
Applications in Roads & Highways
Accurate soil moisture measurement is essential for successful geotechnical engineering projects. This is widely used for field control of compacted earthworks, embankments, and infrastructure projects. By providing rapid and dependable moisture readings, it helps ensure soil conditions remain within specified limits for optimal compaction and structural performance.
