4. Reading the Concrete Moisture Encounter CME5
analog dial:
• CONCRETE Scale : For concrete, read the moisture
content from the top, 0% to 6%, scale of the meter
dial. Readings on a concrete floor slab obtained on
this scale indicate moisture content measurement
and should not be confused with lbs emission or
any other unit of measurement obtained by other
moisture testing methods or meters. It should also
be noted that there is no consistent linear correla-
tion between moisture content measurements
and lbs emission or RH measurements as obtained
using calcium chloride or relative humidity testing
methods.
• GYPSUM Scale: For gypsum and other floor
screeds, comparative or qualitative readings should
be taken from the middle, 0 to 10, scale of the
meter dial.
• 0 - 100 Reference Scale: Alternatively, the lower,
0 to 100, reference scale can be used for compara-
tive readings. This scale is not to be interpreted as
a measurement of percentage moisture content,
or relative humidity. It is not a relative humidity
reading and it does not have any linear correlation
with Relative Humidity measurements. This scale
should be regarded as a comparative or qualitative
scale only.
