Road salt moisture measured straight in the pile
Road salt is bought and settled by weight, and every per cent of water is weight that is paid for but does not de-ice. Damp salt also doses worse and cakes in the store. The humimeter MS4 checks the water content in seconds: it is placed against the surface of the salt, with no sample taken, no weighing and no drying.
What you can measure
- fine road salt, below 1.5 mm
- coarse road salt, above 1.5 mm
- other salts used industrially
- a reference curve for checking the readings, plus three free slots for curves of your own
Your benefits
- measurement in seconds, with no sample taken and no preparation
- resolution 0.01 % - over a range of 0 to 3 % that accuracy is what counts
- automatic averaging of readings from several points of the pile
- housing rated IP 54, built for work in a salt store
- lithium-ion battery for 60 to 100 hours of work, charged over USB
- USB module with LogMemorizer basic software included
- logger for 10 000 readings with the measuring point description and supplier details

How a measurement is taken
- Select the curve matching the grain size of the salt - fine or coarse.
- Place the measuring surface against the salt and press with a force of about 4 kg. The pressure has to be noticeable and repeatable, because the result depends on it.
- The layer of salt under the instrument has to be at least 50 mm - the device measures to a depth of 30 mm.
- Read the water content and the temperature, and repeat at several points of the pile. The instrument works out the average of the stored readings itself.
Checking the readings
The manufacturer recommends checking the calibration every four weeks with the PP2 test plate (art. no. 10003), which is included in the delivery. Independently of that it is worth comparing the reading periodically with the oven method.
