Description
SONO-M1® Hand-held Sand and Aggregate Moisture Meter
The SONO-M1® Sand and Aggregate Moisture Meter is a fast portable moisture testing solution for construction aggregates such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, grit, and other aggregates up to 1.25″ in size.
Why You Need the SONO-M1® Sand Moisture Probe?
Using the Seztec SONO-M1® moisture probe and HD2® meter, you can precisely measure the volumetric moisture content (%) in all types of construction aggregates, including sand, directly in your stockpiles, eliminating the need for lengthy kiln drying. This innovative solution enables accurate field and stockpile testing, ensuring optimal product quality control.
15 Pre-Configured Material Curves: Ready for Immediate Use
Our HD2 SONO-M1 Sand and Aggregate Moisture Meter is pre-calibrated for 15 different types of sand and aggregates, allowing for immediate and precise moisture measurements straight out of the box. This ensures highly accurate readings for your ready-mix process and more. The portable meter is designed to be user-friendly and can be operated without prior training. By following the recommended steps, you can easily conduct moisture testing in stockpiles or a standard 5-gallon bucket.
Ideal for various applications, including construction sites, ready-mix or concrete production, and quality control in material handling, this device is versatile and efficient.
Additionally, the HD2 SONO-M1 supports easy “2-point” custom material calibration, making it suitable for non-standard or customer-specific construction materials such as limestone, powdered limestone, clay, coral, and more.
Patented Technology Behind Our Sand and Aggregate Moisture Meter
Our moisture sensors harness the power of patented TRIME® TDR technology, creating a robust measuring field that penetrates deep into a large volume of material. This results in highly accurate and repeatable moisture measurement values. With over two decades of expertise, Seztec’s handheld and online moisture probes are tailored to meet all your aggregate and fresh concrete measurement needs.
Importance of Accurate Aggregate Moisture Measurement
Achieving the correct water/cement ratio (w/c ratio) in your mix requires accurate determination of the moisture content in aggregates. Traditional methods like oven-drying can be lengthy and impractical for on-site testing.
The HD2® aggregate moisture content meter provides a solution by allowing your QC officer or site engineer to quickly obtain moisture readings directly on-site, in just seconds. This eliminates the need for time-consuming kiln drying and enables efficient field and stockpile testing. The meter measures three key parameters: moisture content (%), temperature, and conductivity, delivering real-time data for immediate decision-making.
