Description
Tramex Moisture Encounter ME5. The updated Tramex Moisture Encounter Plus is a non-destructive damp meter for detecting moisture in most building materials.
The Moisture Encounter ME5 provides actual moisture content % readings as a wood moisture meter.
It also functions as a dampness meter for drywall, plaster, roofing, tile, and masonry.
This capability is particularly valuable as it helps determine moisture content levels in walls, ceilings, and floors. By accurately measuring moisture levels, users can effectively assess the condition of various surfaces and identify potential issues before they escalate. This proactive approach not only aids in maintaining the integrity of the structure but also contributes to preventing mould growth and ensuring a safe environment.
Dual Depth Moisture Detector
The ME5 dampness detector’s dual depth feature allows for determining where moisture is located within the material.
For effective moisture testing, shallow-depth readings of up to 9mm (⅜”) and deep-depth readings reaching 30mm (1¼”) are essential. These measurements allow you to compare surface moisture with core moisture, helping to eliminate the substrate’s influence on your test results when assessing coverings.
Wood moisture meter
The ME5 is a pinless moisture meter designed specifically for wood. It accurately measures the moisture content percentage (MC%) in wood without the need for pins, ensuring the surface remains undamaged. This innovative approach allows for easy and reliable monitoring of moisture levels in your wood materials.
The wood scale shows a 5-30% moisture content range. Wood adjustment tables are available for specific wood type density adjustments where necessary.
Pre-calibrated for many building materials
Tramex Moisture Encounter ME5 detects elevated moisture levels within the most common building materials. It is pre-calibrated to the various densities of materials such as drywall, plaster, roofing, tile and masonry.
This general moisture meter detects moisture through paint, wallpaper, drywall, ceramic tiles, floor coverings, wood, ceiling tiles, roofing membranes, and asphalt composition shingles and makes it the best moisture meter for testing in, through and behind a wide range of building materials
