Instant Moisture and Temperature Tester

Instant Moisture and Temperature Tester

The Microlance has a built-in computer, which gives it the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials and water contents.
This instrument measures the moisture and temperature of building materials (such as aggregates, sand and mixes) at depths up to 1 m approx., simply by insertion.
The meter comes with standard calibration for sands and aggregates, but is easily recalibrated in the field for virtually any material or mixture using the built-in “Autocal” facility.
The digital readings are shown instantly.
