Nuclear Density Gaugeeasy is just the beginning


Humboldts HS-5001EZ Moisture/Density Gauge is
just that easy. Easy to operate, easy to power and
easy to service. The EZ gauge features a menu-driven
control panel with easy-to-use, built-in test routines
and auto features, making testing a quick and
accurate operation. It also features our innovative
trigger release handle that eliminates pinched
fingers while providing smooth operation. Available
in 8" (200mm) and 12" (300mm) lengths with either
1" (25mm) or 2" (50mm) increments, the EZ gauge
provides a single gauge solution to density and
moisture measurements.
The EZs versatility allows it to measure density
through direct transmission and backscatter modes,
as well as including thin lift and trench modes, as
well as moisture determinations. The gauge uses
an advanced micro-processor-based technology to
provide highly-accurate measurements of density
and moisture that are automatically computed for
direct readouts of wet density, dry density, moisture
content, percent of moisture, percent of compaction
(Proctor or Marshall), void ratio and air voids.
The EZ Gauge complies with all pertinent standards:
ASTM D6938, D2950, C1040 and AASHTO T310.
The gauge is calibrated by the Five-block
calibration method.

Easy to Power
The EZ is powered by six standard AA 
alkaline batteries, which provide up to 
2000 hrs of service. N
 o chargers are needed
and you can buy batteries a
 lmost anywhere,
including the corner convenience store.

Easy to Service
The EZ gauge also uses a modular d
 esign,
which allows it to be s erviced in the field,
if ever n
 ecessary. With this gauge, you 
dont have to send it back to the factory
for repairs, well send y ou the necessary
components a
 nd walk you through any
repair procedure.
