Tramex ME5 Analog Moisture Meter for Building Materials with Shallow Depth Scale & Bluetooth App
The Tramex Moisture Encounter ME5 is a professional-grade pinless moisture meter designed to quickly and non-destructively detect moisture in wood, drywall, plaster, masonry, roofing materials and more. Featuring dual-depth scanning technology, it measures moisture up to 9mm and 30mm deep to help identify whether moisture is present at the surface or within the core of the material. The ME5 provides actual moisture content percentage readings for wood, is pre-calibrated for a wide range of building materials, and pairs with the Tramex Meters App to create moisture maps, store readings and generate reports for professional documentation.
Features:
- Non-destructive pinless moisture detection
- Dual-depth scanning up to 9mm and 30mm
- Displays actual wood moisture content (%MC)
- Pre-calibrated for drywall, plaster, masonry, roofing and tile
- Detects moisture through coatings and coverings
- Suitable for floors, walls, ceilings and roofing applications
- Bluetooth connectivity for use with the Tramex Meters App
- Create moisture maps, save readings and generate reports
- Professional-grade design for building inspection and restoration work
Comparative vs Quantitative Testing:
- Comparative Testing
- Establish a known dry/reference area, then compare readings from other
areas to identify moisture difference or anomalies
- Quantitative Testing
- Provides a quantitative reading for concrete testing, reducing the need to
simply compare one area of the slab against another
Applications:
- Water Damage Restoration
- Identify elevated moisture in walls and buildings
- Assess Concrete Slabs were required
