is a non-destructive analog concrete moisture meter for measuring quantitative moisture content in concrete floors and slabs. The Concrete Moisture Encounter, determines this instant and precise quantitative measurement of moisture content using Gravimetric testing as a baseline. This moisture meter for concrete tests the concrete to a depth of approximately 20mm (3⁄4″) into the slab.
Before installing moisture-sensitive finishes, it is necessary to confirm that excess water has sufficiently evaporated. If moisture remains too high, it can cause failures such as poor bonding, surface blistering, and long-term deterioration of the applied system. This test helps prevent these issues and ensures that the substrate meets the required conditions for further work.
To carry out tests simply brush any dust from a smooth area of concrete and also from the electrodes, switch on the Concrete Moisture Meter and place it firmly onto the surface, fully compressing the spring-loaded, signal-enhancing contacts on the base. Read the moisture content from the clear analogue dial. The Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter is calibrated to give percentage moisture content readings on clean, bare dust free concrete floor slabs, with a depth of penetration of approx. 20 mm (¾”). Readings taken on concrete slabs through paint, coatings, adhesives or other materials on the surface should be regarded as qualitative or comparative and not quantitative.
