Cementometer Moisture Meter
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10329
Cementometer Moisture Meter (code EL-CTLE-10329) is a portable microwave moisture meter that reads the water cement ratio of freshly mixed cement, concrete and mortar as soon as its prongs are pushed into the material. It is made in two types, Type R with a two prong probe for approximately 0.35 to 0.65 water/cement and Type L with a five prong probe for approximately 0.25 to 0.5, and it stores over 150 time and date stamped readings.

What Is the Cementometer Moisture Meter Used For?
The water cement ratio of a mix largely controls the strength and permeability of the hardened concrete, so checking it while the concrete is still fresh lets a batch be corrected or rejected before it is placed. The operator pushes the probe prongs into the fresh cement, concrete or mortar, takes five to ten readings and uses their average; the meter converts the dielectric signal and shows the ratio directly. The unit should be programmed for the material in use, with up to ten mix designs held, and stored readings are later downloaded over USB to a PC.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of meters required.
- Type — Type R (two prong probe, approx. 0.35 to 0.65 water/cement) or Type L (five prong probe, approx. 0.25 to 0.5 water/cement).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Cementometer measure?
It measures the water cement ratio, or moisture content, of freshly mixed cement, concrete and mortar, showing the result on its display as soon as the prongs are inserted.
What is the difference between Type R and Type L?
Type R has a two prong probe for normal water cement ratios of approximately 0.35 to 0.65. Type L has a five prong probe for low ratios of approximately 0.25 to 0.5.
How does the microwave sensor work?
The sensor measures the complex dielectric constant of the material touching the prongs. Water has a dielectric constant four to eight times that of most aggregates and cements, so changes in water content change the output.
How many readings should be taken?
An average of five to ten readings is normally taken so that the result is valid, and the integrated microprocessor then displays the moisture content directly.
Can test results be stored and transferred?
The meter stores over 150 readings with time and date, and the data can be recalled through a USB interface to a personal computer running the Cementometer software.
Which cements is it calibrated for?
The units come calibrated for standard type I, II and III cements, and up to ten mix designs can be programmed; Type R has its own calibration process for creating user programs.
