With optional pin probes for wood, wood by products and drywall and relative humidity sensor probes for evaluating ambient conditions. Moisture test results can be visualised and Geotagged within the Tramex Meter App and moisture maps, reports and charts produced to share with colleagues or customers.

Applications

Throughout the drying period of a new or existing solid or wood floor, it is very important to take regular moisture content measurements. This ensures that the floor material has reached a sufficient moisture content level in order to accept adhesives, treatments or the finished floor layer. In addition, it is important to recognise moisture related problems early in order to determine what treatment is required.

Problems associated with moisture within flooring materials

Surplus moisture under wooden floors leads to swelling, cupping and unwanted movement. The same problem can arise within solid floors too, causing a host of problems including degrading of adhesion, delaminating, blistering, condensation, movement, mould and deterioration of the final floor covering (for example tiles or laminate wood).

Featured Accessories

Which Tramex Installation Moisture Kit Is Right For You?

Tramex have established an incredible range of hugely impressive moisture meter kits, each designed to make flooring installation or inspection considerably easier. Be it establishing moisture levels at the time of installation, preparing slabs for coating applications or even determining the precise location of encroaching moisture, Tramex have the right kit for the job. But which kit do you need?

Each kit is supplied with either the Tramex CME5 Concrete Encounter Moisture Meter or the Tramex CMEX5 Concrete Moisture Encounter X5. The CME5 is an analogue unit, capable of non-destructive moisture measurements in concrete and screed. It features a concrete moisture content range of 0% to 6% and equivalent scales for anhydrite screed (0 to 1.9) and concrete screed (0 to 4). Thanks to the Bluetooth connection it is fully compatible with the Tramex App available on both iOS & Android.

Alternatively, the Bluetooth enabled CMEX5 offers a wealth of other features in addition to taking non-destructive moisture measurements. Specifically designed for concrete floors and slabs, using Gravimetric testing as a baseline the CMEX5 has a concrete moisture range of 0 - 6.9% and equivalent scales for gypsum floor screed (0 to 12) and concrete screed (0 to 4.3). Featuring a built-in ambient relative humidity (RH) sensor and in-situ RH / Pin Probe connections, by inserting a Tramex Hygro-i2 RH probe you can instantly change the instrument into Hygrometer Mode. Test ambient conditions of temperature, mixing ratios and dew point with a RH range of 0 to 99% and a humidity accuracy of ±2%. Furthermore with the addition of the handheld or hammer probe,  the CMEX5 becomes a resistance type pin meter which can determine the moisture content of wood or wood based items.

Flooring Installation Quick Check Kits: With two choices available, the standard (IQCK) and Plus version (IQCPK), these sets are ideal for testing moisture content of concrete floor & ambient dew-point conditions at the time of installation. The Plus kit includes an upgraded Tramex Infrared Thermometer and the Tramex CMEX5 as opposed to the CME5 included with the standard kit.

Concrete Coatings Kits: Split into two kits, the Installer Tech Kit (CCTK) and Inspector Kit (CCIK) are for use before applying any sort of coating to a concrete floor. These sets provide instant, non-destructive quantitive moisture measurements alongside similar crucial information. The CCTK kit includes a Tramex Feedback Datalogger for long term monitoring of ambient relative humidity, dew point and temperature. Whilst the CCIK kit is supplied with an Infrared Thermometer for determining surface temperatures against dew-point conditions to avoid contestation related issues.

Flooring Inspection Kits: The ultimate in flooring inspection pre or post installation, this range of kits includes four sets. Each is supplied with either a CME5 or CMEX5 Concrete Moisture Encounter Meter. This is the choice for you should a job require a much more in-depth inspection. This series is designed for instant, non-destructive quantitive moisture testing of concrete & wood flooring and relative humidity and dew point testing.
