Building Surveying
The Mini is ideal for assessing the moisture condition
in buildings. A color-coded scale enables the user to
assess the moisture level of wood and dry wall at a
glance. The numerical values represent the actual
percent moisture content of wood (% MC) and the wood
moisture equivalent (WME) of concrete, dry wall and
other materials. The Mini can be used to determine if
the fabrics of a building are in a dry, borderline or damp
condition.
Optional hammer electrode and deep wall probes can
be used with the Mini to measure the moisture level
at depths in walls and floors, regardless of the surface
condition. These options are useful accessories when
investigating the cause of moisture problems within
buildings.
Quality Control Applications
The Mini is a precision instrument suitable for a wide
range of quality control applications on construction
sites, for manufacturers and storage environments.
Contractors use the meter to assess if plasterwork is
sufficiently dry for painting. Manufacturers of wooden
products such as furniture, roof trusses and pallets use
the Mini for checking the moisture content of timber
as delivered, and through the manufacturing process.
Home inspectors check moisture levels to assess the
risk of mold grade.
When taking readings in awkward positions, the Mini
can be used with the moisture probe and lead, supplied
as standard with the instrument.
