The Elcometer 7000 Series provides accurate and easy to use humidity measurements.
Available in two models, the concrete Moisture Meter has a non-invasive probe that emits RF to penetrate the surface to detect humidity, making it ideal for rapid surveys of solid walls, floors, and tiles.
The digital hygrometer has two pin probes that can press the hygrometer onto a surface and measure the direct area, and a non-invasive probe on the back of the hygrometer to detect humidity.
Calibrated and ready to use
The scale is clear, easy to read, and displayed instantly
Portable, battery-powered, non-destructive
Type of hygrometer
In porous materials, such as concrete, gypsum, brick, wood, etc., it is necessary to measure the moisture content of the substrate, as the moisture content in the material can lead to decreased adhesion, premature peeling of the coating and poor appearance.
It is not enough to confirm that the surface is dry, because the surface of the substrate is often the driest part based on the principle of evaporation. It is important to confirm the moisture content of the substrate itself.
When powder-coated boards, for example, a piece of wood (or MDF) have too much moisture content, the moisture is heated as the board passes through the oven, creating steam – which can cause serious problems with the appearance of the coating.
Painting on a concrete floor that is too wet can cause premature adhesion failure. A hygrometer is an instrument used specifically to determine the degree of moisture in a substrate and is divided into two types:
Pin hygrometer: The pin is firmly inserted into the surface of the substrate to be measured, and the moisture content (%MC) of the substrate is measured by measuring the resistance between the needle electrodes.
Needleless, Contact Hygrometers: Needleless hygrometers measure humidity faster and less destructively, but require a relatively flat measuring surface because the probe is mounted on the instrument substrate and is ideal for measuring concrete.
