Lesson 5- Speedy Moisture Tester
The Speedy Moisture test is a proven, efficient method of determining the moisture content of materials in the field. The results of the Speedy test, combined with the nuclear density gauge are standard accepted practice for determining in-place material density (verification of compaction effort) in the field. Typically used when nuclear density gauge or material being tested does not permit nuclear moisture content tests.

FM 5-507 2.1 Calcium carbide pressure moisture tester: 20 gram or 26 gram. Testers owned by the FDOT shall be calibrated at least every six (6) months by the District Density Engineer (DDE), or designee, and at anytime there is reason to suspect malfunction. A calibration kit shall be used. Testers not owned by the FDOT, but used for required testing, shall also be calibrated every 6 months. Records of calibration shall always accompany the tester & shall be presented to the department upon request. The p y p p p q calibration kits used by the DDE’s, or designees, shall be calibrated by the State Materials Office at least once a year.
