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 HI5202 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 The HI520 has been replaced by the HI5202, which adds a backlit display, push-button controls, onboard data memory with timestamps, three additional material calibrations, and eight user calibration slots.
