Description
The Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5, the updated CME4 Concrete Moisture Encounter, is a non-destructive analog concrete moisture meter for measuring quantitative moisture content in concrete floors and slabs. The Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5, 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.
The CME5 concrete moisture meter also provides readings for gypsum floor screeds as well as comparative readings making this moisture meter suitable to perform a concrete moisture test as per ASTM F2659.
The CME5 is a top quality moisture meter for concrete and an essential tool for non-destructive testing of concrete for professionals in the concrete coatings or flooring industry to help prevent moisture problems on concrete floors.
The use of the CME5 can be extended with the optional Concrete Moisture Probe which detects in-situ quantitative moisture content within the concrete down to an extendable depth of up to 4″ (100mm). The CME5 is included in several concrete moisture test kits.
Features:
- Non-destructive in operation with no need to probe, drill or mechanically damage the surface
- Clear easy-to-read analog dial
- Instant and precise readings to a depth of approximately 3⁄4″ into the slab
- Bluetooth connection to accompanying IOS & Android App allowing for continual development and integration of apps and reporting
- Hold function “freezes” meter reading when inspecting areas where the meter face is not visible, and for easy recording of data
- Reproducible and reliable results
- Spring-loaded contact pins compensate for uneven concrete and boost signal penetration
- Rugged ergonomically designed enclosure
Comparative vs Quantitative Testing:
- Comparative Testing
- Establish a known dry/reference area, then compare readings from other
areas to identify moisture difference or anomalies
- Establish a known dry/reference area, then compare readings from other
- Quantitative Testing
- Provides a quantitative reading for concrete testing, reducing the need to
simply compare one area of the slab against another
- Provides a quantitative reading for concrete testing, reducing the need to
