Tramex Flooring Inspection Kits
The Tramex Flooring Inspection Kits come complete with either the Tramex Encounter MEX5 Moisture and Humidity Meter, CME5 Concrete Moisture Meter or CMEX5 Concrete Moisture Encounter X5, with each purpose built to suit your floor inspection needs. Both digital devices designed for fast, non-invasive and accurate moisture content measurements in solid floors including concrete, the CMEX5 can combine with a Hygro-i2 Relative Humidity Probe for multifunctional features such as wood floor inspections.
The non-destructive Tramex CME5 Concrete Encounter Moisture Meter is capable of moisture measurement in concrete in accordance with ASTM F2659. With a concrete moisture content range of 0% to 6% it includes equivalent scales for anhydrite screed (0 to 1.9) and concrete screed (0 to 4).
- Measures concrete moisture content up to 6%
- Non-destructive device
- Carbide Method moisture content equivalent for Concrete 0 to 4
- Carbide Method moisture content equivalent for Anhydrite 0 to 1.9
- 20mm approximate (3/4") depth of penetration
The also non-destructive Tramex CMEX5 Concrete Moisture Encounter X5 has been created specifically for concrete floors and slabs. Using Gravimetric testing as a baseline, it provides precise and swift quantitive measurements of the moisture content within a range of 0 - 6.9%. For concrete and other such cementitious substrates, the meter provides Carbide Method (CM) equivalent readings alongside comparative readings as per ASTM F2659. The CM measuring range for concrete is 0 - 4.3 while the Gypsum floor screed range is 0 - 12.
- Measures concrete moisture content up to 6.9%
- Non-destructive device
- Moisture counter for wood 5 to 30%
- Comparative moisture content equivalent for Gypsum floor screed 0 to 12
- Carbide Method moisture content equivalent for Anhydrite 0 to 2.7
- Carbide Method moisture content equivalent for Concrete 0 to 4.3
- Relative Humidity range of 0 → 99%
- Humidity accuracy of 0% → 99%RH +/- 2% @ 25°C / 77°F
- 20mm approximate (3/4") depth of penetration
The Tramex Flooring Master Kit boasts even further functionality due to the inclusion of a Tramex ME5 Moisture Encounter Meter and Tramex DL-RHTX Feedback Temperature and Humidity Data Logger. Using a non-destructive electrical signal the ME5 measures wood moisture content in a range between 5% and 30% and can also produce a 0 to 100 WME comparative reading.
- Measures wood moisture content between 5% and 30%
- 0 to 100 comparative scale for other materials
- Large, clear screen
- Shallow signal up to 10mm (0.40”)
- Deep signal up to 30mm (1.25")
The Tramex DL-RHTX Feedback Temperature and Humidity Data Logger is suitable for long-term monitoring of air temperature and relative humidity through its internal sensors. It has a relative humidity range of 0 to 100% RH and an air temperature measurement range of -40˚C to 125˚C. The large internal memory of the Tramex DL-RHTX has enough space for 100,000 different data points and has Bluetooth wireless connectivity which is capable of communicating with the user’s smartphone over a distance of up to 50m. It is also possible to measure temperature and humidity via an external plug-in sensor as well as contact temperature via another external probe with a range of -30˚C to 80˚C.
- Measures air temperature in a range between -40˚C to 125˚C
- Includes a humidity range of 0 to 100% RH
- Impressive internal memory of 100,000 data points
- Connects to Tramex Feedback DataLogger App
The Tramex Flooring Master X Kit includes the Tramex Encounter MEX5 Moisture and Humidity Meter that is a dual depth moisture meter that can be used for wood and a number of building materials including drywall, roofing, plaster, tile and masonry.With a built-in hygrometer for ambient conditions and psychrometric values. The MEX5 has an infrared surface thermometer and when used with external in-situ RH probes can provide in-situ equilibrium RH readings. Pin probes for wood, drywall and WME readings are also in built.
The MEX5 moisture meter features duel depth measuring range with a deep depth penetration of up to 1 1/4" (30mm) and a shallow depth penetration up to 3/8" (9mm). The dual depth readings of surface and core moisture can be compared allowing tihe elimination of the subtract when testing coverings. The Pinless moisture functionality of the MEX5 measure moisture content of % of wood from 0-30%. 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
Hygro-i2 Relative Humidity probe
Used in combination with Tramex non-destructive moisture meters, the Hygro-i2 probe provides measurements of temperature, humidity and dew-point in structural materials such as concrete walls and flooring. With a rapid acclimation time, best-in-class accuracy even up to >90% and temperature range of -40°C to 80°C with an accuracy of ±2˚C, the Hygro-i2 probe is built for speed and reliability. Perform in-situ & hood type RH testing to comply with international standards BS 8201, 8203, 5325 & ASTM F2170.
App available for Android and iOS
A Bluetooth connection to the Tramex Meters App allows for visualisation of readings and data reporting to personal smart devices, to GeoTag test results, create, save and share photos, reports & charts, as well as see your meter screen on your phone when extending to hard to reach places.
CTP Contact Temperature Probe
A plug-in accessory probe for use with the FeedBack DataLoggers to measure and log surface temperature over time. It can also be used to identify dew point circumstances.
Heavy-duty pin-type wood probe
This hammer probe provides the operator with a method for performing destructive moisture measurement on wood using the Tramex CMEX5 Concrete Moisture Meter.
Hammer-action pin-type electrode
Ideal for taking sub-surface moisture content readings from wooden panels, structures and products as it can be hammered into a wooden surface, moisture is measured via two moisture pins.
Hygro-i2 Probe Hole liners
In order to make the Hygro-i2 RH Probe fit into drilled holes, a hole liner must be inserted. These can be capped for re-use at a later point.
Calibration Check Salts
These salts are supplied to calibrate the Hygro-i2 RH Probe by providing a constant 75% RH in the chamber.
IRT2 Infrared Thermometer
The IRT2 is a handheld, dual laser, non-contact Infrared Thermometer with 12:1 distance to spot ratio and audible and visible high/low set point alarms. Useful for measuring & displaying surface temperatures within a range of -50°C to 650°C (-58˚F to 1202˚F), it features an accuracy of approximately 1 to 1.5%
E5-HBS Extension Handle
Built for use with the Tramex ME5 and CME5 moisture meters, this accessory performs tasks in high places, or low to the ground as the extendable handle also reduces the need for crouching or kneeling. The handle has a Min. length of 30cm and Max. of up to 80cm.
