The Elcometer 7000 Digital Moisture Meter range offers accurate and easy to use moisture measurement.
Elcometer 7000 Digital Moisture Meter
Available in two versions, the Concrete Moisture Meter has a non-invasive probe that emits a radio frequency to penetrate the surface to detect moisture. Ideal for rapid surveys of solid wall, floors and ceramic tiles.
The Digital Moisture Meter has two pin probes that allow the gauge to be pressed on to a surface and take a measurement of the immediate area and also has a non-invasive probe on the back of the gauge for moisture detection.
• Calibrated ready for use
• Instant readings on a clear, easy to read scale
• Fully portable and battery operated
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.
It is not sufficient to simply ensure that the surface is dry as often the surface of the substrate is the driest point – due to evaporation. It is important to establish the moisture content within the substrate itself.
