The Concrete Moisture Encounter Meter detects and assesses moisture conditions within the slab or screed by non-destructively measuring electrical impedance. A low-frequency electronic signal is transmitted into the material under test through the electrodes in the instrument's base. The signal's strength varies proportionally to the moisture content present in the material.
The Tramex CME5 Concrete Moisture Meter determines the current strength and translates it into a moisture content value for concrete slabs or a comparative value for other cementitious floor screeds. These values are displayed on a large, clear analog dial. This meter is a non-destructive tool for instantly measuring moisture content in concrete slabs according to ASTM F2659 and providing comparative or equivalent readings in other cementitious floor screeds. Easy to use, it delivers precise and repeatable results, allowing users to conduct multiple tests over a large area in the shortest time possible.
