  CALIBRATION OF RAPID MOISTURE METER (RMM) REF. CODE- IS:2720 Part-2 ·          Rapid moisture
meter (RMM) is most popular equipment for quick determine the moisture content of soil and fine
aggregate in construction fields. ·          The RMM can be determine moisture content very quick within 5
minutes, up to 50% or 25% as per capacity of RMM. ·          But there are different between actual
moisture content & RMM value most of the cases, that’s why we need to be compare RMM reading
with actual moisture.   Working Principal Calcium Carbide (CaC2 ) reacted with Water (Moister in test
sample) and produce gas. This gas
