Tramex Moisture Encounter ME5

The Moisture Encounter ME5 is a non-destructive overall building inspection tool which has applications for numerous industries. It has many unique features that make moisture measurement and evaluation fast, accurate and versatile.

How it works:

The Moisture Encounter detects and evaluates moisture conditions within various building materials by non-destructively measuring the electrical impedance.

A low frequency electronic signal is transmitted into the material via the electrodes in the base of the instrument. The strength of this signal varies in proportion to the amount of moisture in the material under test. The Moisture Encounter determines the strength of the current and converts this to a moisture content value, displaying it on a large clear analogue dial.

Uses:

- Locating moisture-related problems within and behind a variety of building materials in the building envelope.
- Mapping the extent of moisture damage caused to buildings.
- Monitoring progressive drying conditions in the drying process of building materials and surfaces.
- Dual-Depth penetration allows for comparative of surface and core moisture and elimination of substrate influence on the testing of coverings.
