HAZARDOUS WARNING: Danger of explosion/fire may result if Moisture Testing Reagent is allowed contact with moisture. Calcium carbide forms flammable acetylene gas when wet so it must be kept sealed and dry. Provide adequate ventilation and use away from sparks and flame. U.S. shipping regulations now require truck shipment for all quantities of calcium carbide. For this reason, we no longer provide testing reagent (calcium carbide) with Moisture Testers. 

This item requires shipment by truck. International shipping regulations require separate purchase of reagent, which requires "dangerous goods" papers and packing. For this reason,  Moisture Testers for International orders do not contain reagent, order separately.
