About Tramex

Since launching in 1974, Tramex has become an international leader in designing and producing moisture meters and scanners. Instrument Choice proudly recommends Tramex products and offers its cutting-edge range of moisture meters.

This article examines the complete range of calibration check tools available for Tramex moisture meters. These tools check and confirm a meter's accuracy while you're on-site, ensuring you produce consistent and dependable moisture measurements.

Calibration Checkplates and Boxes

Tramex moisture meters are delivered factory calibrated. Most models boast an accuracy of ±1%, but if your measurement task mandates a high degree of precision, how can you be certain your meter will perform to its intended accuracy? The most accessible and affordable way to test your device is with a Tramex check plate and calibration box.

Tramex calibration tools are compact, straightforward to use, and take mere seconds to do their work – so you can get on with more critical tasks at hand.

To use the calibration boxes and check plates, all you need to do is:

1. Switch your Tramex moisture meter on
2. Choose your measurement scale
3. Apply the meter to the calibration box or plate
4. Compare the measured reading to the expected reading printed on the box; and
5. If the readings are the same – continue taking accurate measurements. If the measurements are not the same – it's time to have your meter professionally calibrated.

Other Tramex "In-field" Calibration Check Tools

If you have an MRH3 or CMEX2 and the compatible add-on pin-probe or hygro-I humidity probes, here are some additional in-field calibration checking tools.

Calibration Plug Set for Timber Meters (set of 3) Product code: IC-PTMCAL The IC-PTMCAL is a complete set of three calibration check plugs to check the pin-probe function of the MRH3 and CMEX2.
	Calibration Salt Check for Probes Product code: SAL75  Calibration Salt Check for Hygro-i probes (compatible with MRH3 and CMEX2). The CAL75 produces a 75% RH environment within the chamber which can be used to ensure the calibration of the Hygro-i RH probe is optimum.

Conclusion

Tramex calibration plates, boxes and accessories make it straightforward to perform regular on-site calibration checks of your Tramex moisture meter(s).
