Cementometer Moisture Meter

Product Code : SLE/CE/44

Cementometer Moisture Meter (Product Code: SLE/CE/44) is a microwave moisture meter used to measure the moisture content of wet concrete by sensing its complex dielectric constant through a prong probe, in concrete laboratories and quality-control work. Two units cover the water/cement ratios found in wet concrete: the two-prong Type R for approximately 0.35 to 0.65, and a five-prong version for low ratios of approximately 0.25 to 0.5. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is a Cementometer Used For?

The water content of fresh concrete governs its strength and durability, yet it can drift from the design through wet aggregates or added water at the mixer. Because the dielectric constant of water is four to eight times greater than that of most aggregates and cements, changes in water content directly affect the sensor output. The Cementometer converts that output with its microprocessor and shows the moisture reading at once, so a batch can be checked before it is placed.

Insert the probe fully into a representative sample and take five to ten readings to obtain a valid average. For the highest accuracy, program the unit for the materials you actually use; the calibration routine creates these user programs on the meter itself. Stored readings, complete with time and date, can later be downloaded over USB for records. It is a useful moisture meter for any concrete laboratory looking to tighten mix control.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Which unit you need: the two-prong Type R (approx. 0.35 to 0.65 w/c), the five-prong low-ratio unit (approx. 0.25 to 0.5 w/c), or both.
  • The cement types in your mixes, since the units come calibrated for standard Type I, II and III cements.
  • Whether you will download readings to a PC over USB, so the software and USB connection can be confirmed on the quotation.
  • The quantity and the delivery location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cementometer Moisture Meter measure?
The Cementometer Moisture Meter measures the moisture content of wet concrete using a microwave sensor that reads the complex dielectric constant of the material between its prongs. An integrated microprocessor converts this and displays the moisture content directly, relating it to the water/cement ratio of the mix.

Which Cementometer unit do I need?
Two Cementometer Moisture Meter units are available. The Type R, with a two-prong probe, handles normal water/cement ratios of approximately 0.35 to 0.65, while the five-prong unit handles low ratios of approximately 0.25 to 0.5. Choose according to the mixes your laboratory tests.

Which cements is the meter calibrated for?
The Cementometer Moisture Meter units come calibrated for standard Type I, II and III cements. For the highest accuracy, the user should program the unit for the actual materials; up to ten different mix designs can be stored using the meter's own calibration process.

How many readings should be taken per sample?
With the Cementometer Moisture Meter, an average of five to ten readings is normally taken to ensure a valid result. Taking readings at different points in the sample evens out local variations caused by coarse aggregate particles near the prongs.

Can the Cementometer store and transfer data?
Yes. The Cementometer Moisture Meter can store over 150 readings, each with the time and date for future reference. Data can be recalled through a USB interface to a personal computer running the Cementometer software, which simplifies record keeping for quality-control files.

Who supplies the Cementometer Moisture Meter?
The Cementometer Moisture Meter is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources it for laboratories, producers, dealers and importers and can combine it with other concrete testing equipment on one quotation.
