The water content of soil is a critical factor in the ability to control compaction. Moisture analyzers and testers are able to determine the water content of soil and other materials by calculating the dry density of the soil or to ensure that the water content is within the ideal range of compaction. The testing information is also used to provide preliminary results during a construction project to determine whether water needs to be added or removed.

M&L Testing Equipment features soil moisture analyzers (pro analytical and basic halogen) in addition to the portable Speedy® 2000 moisture tester.
