Concrete Encounter CME4
|
|
for
measuring moisture content
instantly
in concrete floors and floor screeds
|
|
without the need
to drill or damage the surface.
|
|
|
|
Product Design:
|
|
The
Concrete Encounter CME4 is a hand-held electronic moisture meter operating on
the principle
|
|
of
non-destructive impedance measurement. Parallel co-planer electrodes are
mounted on the
|
|
base
which, during operation, transmit low-frequency signals into the concrete
floor screed to a
|
|
depth of
approx. 12.5mm (.5 inch).
|
|
|
|
While concrete under normal conditions can never be completely
dry, the instrument has been
|
|
calibrated on acceptably dry
material. In operation it compares the change in impedance caused
|
|
by the presence of dampness and
displays this on a clear, easy to read analog dial.
|
|
|
|
Operating Procedure:
|
|
To
carry out moisture tests simply brush any dust from a smooth area of concrete
and also from
|
|
electrodes,
switch on the Concrete Encounter CME 4 and place firmly onto the surface,
fully
|
|
compressing the
spring loaded signal enhancing contacts on the base. Read the moisture
content
|
|
from the clear
analog dial.
|
|
|
|
The CME 4 is calibrated to give percentage moisture content readings on a clean,
bare dust free
|
|
concrete floor slab. Thus,
readings taken on concrete slabs through paint, coatings, adhesives or
|
|
other materials on the surface should
be regarded as qualitative or comparative and not quantitative.
|
|
|
|
HOW IT WORKS
|
|
Co-planer
electrodes on the base of the Concrete Encounter CME 4 transmit parallel low
frequency
|
|
signals
calibrated to give average moisture content by comparing the change in
impedance between
|
|
damp and
acceptably dry concrete.
