The Tramex Moisture Encounter MEX5 is a digital Dual-Depth, non-destructive moisture and humidity meter, ideal for surveying moisture and humidity conditions in building structures.
The MEX5 measures moisture content in wood and drywall and provides comparative readings in various building materials such as roofing, plaster, tile and masonry. It also features a built-in hygrometer for ambient conditions and psychrometric values, an Infrared Surface Thermometer and also incorporates optional external in-situ RH probes for in-situ equilibrium RH readings, as well as Pin probes for wood, drywall, and WME readings.
The MEX5 moisture meter features dual depth measuring range. Deep Depth penetration of up to 30mm and Shallow Depth penetration of up to 9mm. The dual depth readings of surface and core moisture can be compared to eliminate the influence of the substrate when testing coverings. The pinless moisture meter measures moisture content % of wood from 0 to 30%. The meter can be expanded with the use of pin probes for wood, wood by-products and drywall as well as relative humidity sensor probes for evaluating ambient conditions.
All moisture and humidity readings can be visualised and Geotagged with the Tramex Meters App and turned into moisture maps, reports and charts for sharing.
