Fortunately, these are no longer necessary. With the mobile moisture measurement system HD2, the enterprise IMKO is presenting a handy and robust system for the quick determination of the moisture content in sand and gravel, as well as other aggregates. For the actual measurement, the robust two-rod probe PICO64 is connected to the HD2.
