Choisir son humidimètre pour mesurer l'humidité

At thermometre.fr, we sell a range of moisture meters portable pin (resistance) for professionals and the artisans. THE pin moisture meters are recognized as a reliable way to obtain percent humidity readings in a range of construction materials. The relationship between the moisture content and the electrical resistance provides consistent and accurate results. On the beach 4 % at the saturation point of the fibers, which is approximately 30 %, depending on the material.

Construction materials

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

Humidity measurement problems

The main problems come from the “structure” of the material tested. In particular the presence of other conductive materials which may affect playback.

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

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

 

 

Why measure moisture in floors and walls?

Many of today's flooring materials use water-based adhesives. They are more likely to fail than older traditional carbon-based adhesives. solvent. Moisture can cause laminate failure, the tile lifting and the warping or cracking of floors of hardwood. A newly poured concrete floor slab is typically the slowest drying element of a building. Therefore, it is important to measure moisture content accurately to guarantee a successful floor. Measuring the moisture content of walls is a traditional method for locate humidity and others related problems. That is to say damaged pipes, of the broken waterproof layers, etc. corrective measures are taken.
