Advanced Desktop NIR Moisture Analyzer: Turntable Averaging, Password-Protected Calibrations
A refined benchtop moisture analyzer that reads near-infrared moisture in seconds and leaves the sample intact. The rotating turntable averages across the full sample, while password-protected calibrations keep results consistent.
Rotating turntable: Averages moisture across the entire sample surface for steadier readings.
Password-protected calibrations: Locks stored curves against unauthorized changes.
Tracker software: Capture, chart, and store results on a connected PC.
Non-Destructive Moisture Testing — Concrete, Mortar, and Building Materials
The HI520-2 measures surface moisture in cured concrete, mortar, and a range of building materials in seconds. No drilling, no coring, no sample prep — place the sensor on the surface and read the moisture content directly. Built for construction sites, finishing and coating prep, and quality control in building material manufacturing.
Six built-in calibrations: Concrete, mortar, lightweight concrete, gypsum board, ALC, and calcium silicate board — one instrument for the materials you actually test.
±0.5% accuracy on concrete and mortar: Repeatable readings to verify spec compliance before flooring, coating, or finishing work.
Eight user calibrations & 1,000-reading memory: Build custom curves for materials outside the factory list. Each reading is date and time stamped for documentation.
Backlit display, single-hand operation: Larger LCD with adjustable backlight for low-light measurement. Push-button controls replace the older HI-520 dial system.
Legacy Model — Replaced by the HI520-2
The HI520 is a handheld non-destructive moisture tester for concrete, mortar, lightweight concrete, gypsum board, and ALC. It uses high-frequency capacitance to read surface moisture without sample damage. The HI520 has been replaced by the HI520-2, which adds a backlit display, push-button controls, onboard data memory with timestamps, three additional material calibrations, and eight user calibration slots.
