Elcometer 7000 - Digital Moisture Meter - 1

Moisture Elcometer 7000 Digital Moisture Meter The Elcometer 7000 range offers accurate and easy to use moisture measurement. Available with pin probes or non-invasive for non-destructive testing, the gauges give average moisture content by comparing the change in impedance between damp and acceptably dry substrates. • • • Calibrated ready for use Instant readings on a clear, easy to read scale Fully portable, battery operated and non-destructive Types of Moisture Meters On porous materials such as concrete, plaster, brick, wood, the moisture content of the substrate should be measured, as the presence of moisture within a material will result in poor adhesion, premature coating failure and poor appearance. ● Applying a coating to a concrete floor which is too damp can cause premature adhesion failure. Moisture meters have been developed to specifically determine the level of moisture in a substrate and come in two forms: When powder coating wooden panels, for example, if the wood (or mdf) has too high a moisture content, as the panel passes through the oven, the moisture is heated, generating steam – causing significant coating finish issues. Pinless, contact-type moisture meters: Whilst pinless meters typically measure moisture content faster and are non-destructive they do require a relatively flat surface because the sensors are mounted on the base of the gauge making them ideal for concrete. Pin-type moisture meters: Invasive pins are pushed firmly into as standard. It is not sufficient to simply ensure that the surface isCertificate supplied the surface of the substrate being measured dry as often the surface of the substrate is the driest and by measuring the electrical resistance between the point – due to evaporation. It is important to establish pin electrodes provide the percentage moisture content (%MC) in the substrate. the moisture content within the substrate itself.
