The IR-3000 takes instant, non-contact measurements of moisture in % dry and % wet measurements, and regulates cement moisture content either automatically or manually to suit your needs. It's also capable of measuring temperature and other important levels. The IR-3000 is your best performing option when it comes to cement moisture analyzers.

Several methods are currently being practiced for assessing the moisture content in screeds. Air Hygrometer Test: This is the method recommended by the British Standards. This involves the measurement of the moisture released by the screed into a sealed area over a time span of 72 hours (this is to reach equilibrium with concrete substrate).

Moisture Content. Aggregate can contain water, both internal, based on porosity, and external, surface moisture. This gives aggregate the ability to absorb water. This will effectively reduce the amount of water available for hydration; or conversely, if the aggregate is very wet, add excess water to a cement mix. There are four moisture states:

The purified sand, which has a moisture content of 15 to 25 percent, is conveyed to drainage bins where the moisture content is reduced to about 6 percent.

There has always been water content in concrete. In fact, concrete strength and durability is partially defined by the proportion of moisture content to cement. Quarries blast limestone and grind it with clay to create cement, concrete's binding agent. Manufacturers mix cement powder with water, and the resulting calcium-silicate-hydrate bonds other particulates, like sand or […]

The ratio of water to cement in your batch of concrete remains one of the most influential factors as to how long a concrete slab needs to cure and dry. External sources of concrete moisture can also be substantial and include such things as rainwater, poor plumbing, poor drainage below or at the sides of the slab, and even the humidity in the air.

Limestone is a common type of carbonate sedimentary rock.It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3).Limestone forms when these minerals precipitate out of water containing dissolved calcium.
