Choose your moisture meter to measure humidity

At the house of France Thermometer, we sell a range of moisture meters pin (resistance) laptops for professionals and the artisans. The pin moisture meters are recognized as a reliable means of obtaining moisture percentage readings in a range of building materials. The relationship between moisture content and the electrical resistance provides consistent and accurate results over the range of 4 % to the fiber saturation point, which is about 30 %, depending on the material.

Construction materials

Some humidity is inevitable and may even be necessary in some construction materials, but too much moisture can cause mold, from rot and Other problems. Us moisture meters are economic instruments who can easily determine the humidity levels, which allows the user to diagnose issues and make informed decisions about corrective actions.

Humidity Measurement Problems

The main problems stem from the "structure" of the material tested, in particular the presence of other conductive materials that may affect reading.

Therefore, when measuring the moisture content of a material, it is important to appreciate a number of factors:

• Surrounding environment
• Material density
• Grain size or direction
• Ability of a material to absorb moisture

Why measure floor and wall humidity?

Many flooring materials today use water-based adhesives, which are more likely to fail than older traditional adhesives based on solvent. Humidity can cause failure of laminates, the tile lifting and the warping or cracking of floors of hardwood. A newly poured concrete floor slab is usually the slowest drying element of a building. Therefore, it is important to measure the moisture content accurately to ensure a successful floor. Measuring the moisture content of walls is a traditional method for locate moisture and others related issues, that is to say damaged pipes, of the broken watertight layers, etc. corrective actions are taken.
