damp meter and moisture meter
ETI 7000
The 7000 moisure meter and damp meter is a compact, simple to use, general purpose moisture meter that is ideal for making rapid moisture assessments in a wide range of building materials including wood, brickwork, plaster and concrete. The moisture meter is housed in a flip-top polypropylene case and incorporates a clear analogue meter that has five colour-coded scales:- wood 1, wood 2, plaster, concrete and a reference scale.
The damp meter measures free water in building materials, indicating the relative dampness of a material. Therefore, any high readings (in the absence of contaminating salts or carbonaceous materials) indicate a damp condition of approximately equal significance in wood, concrete, plaster or wallboard, regardless of their different moisture contents. The 7000 moisture meter is scaled with this in mind so that it can be used to measure moisture in a variety of materials.
The wood/timber scales are calibrated from 14% to 30% (wood 1) and 15% to 30% (wood 2). Comprehensive tables of wood groups are supplied for both scales. The plaster and concrete scales are calibrated from 8% to 20% (plaster) and 5% to 14% (concrete). The reference scale is calibrated 1 to 10 and is used to take comparison readings without reference to percentage moisture content. The scales incorporate colour-coded areas, red indicating high moisture content and green low.
Each unit is supplied with a remote 2-pin moisture probe with a one-metre PVC connecting lead which is ideal for taking readings in awkward places. The pins of the probe are fully replaceable by the user. The moisture meter's measuring pins are small and sharp which means that surface measurements can be taken with virtually no marks left behind. The 7000 moisture meter is ideal for many trades including surveyors, flooring contractors, wood product manufacturers and merchants. Each moisture meter is supplied with a moisture probe, instructions for use and 50 spare standard replacement pins.
