In a Speedy Moisture Tester, the moisture in the test specimen reacts with calcium carbide reagent to form acetylene gas in the pressure chamber. The amount of gas formed, and the pressure created, is a function of the moisture in the specimen. The pressure gauge on the tester is calibrated to directly read the percentage of moisture contained in the specimen.

The Speedy Moisture Tester permit accurate testing of specimens in the field. with typical test times as short as a few minutes.
