DeFelsko’s Humidity Meter is the In Concrete Moisture Meter: In Situ, which comes with a small fast sensor making it the perfect solution to identify and monitor concrete moisture levels not only quickly but also easily unlike before. The CMM IS is a compact which minimises damage to the surface and also reduces the installation efforts immensely. Due to the small air volume of the test sleeve, the humidity equilibrium process is extremely fast. High moisture content is one of the main sources of floor coating failures, paint blistering and other coating damage.

Applications:

The relative humidity test outlines by ASTM F2170 requires placing a measuring sleeve at a specific, well defined depth in the concrete. Concrete Moisture Meter can be used either by drilling a hole or pre-installing cast holes in fresh concrete. Surface based testing methods only measure up to 20 mm at best and do not essentially reflect reality. Whereas the CMM IS uses the insitu technology which identifies the actual moisture content inside the concrete based upon the humidity of the internal environment. The probes combine the sleeve and measurement device, removing a point of failure.

Benefits:

* Bluetooth wireless connection to a PosiTector Advanced body, or to modern smart phones.
* Measures relative humidity and temperature.
* Sleeveless design, drill: install, stabilise and measure.
* The CMM IS combines the highest measurement accuracy with a fast response time
