CM Equivalent Scale (for concrete)
The CMEXpert II gives readings of 0 to 4.3 on the CM
Equivalent Scale. These are approximated equivalent
readings to the carbide test method for concrete.
Gypsum Scale
The CMEXpert II gives moisture content readings from 0
to 12 (comparative) on Gypsum and Anhydrite screeds.
REF Scale
For the Reference scale the readings are comparative
from 0 to 99. A visual indication is also given by the bar
display on the bottom line of the LCD.
The readings on the reference scale are not to be interpreted
as a measurement of percentage moisture content (%MC)
or relative humidity (RH). 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.
This reference scale is included to facilitate comparative
testing of different areas where direct contact with the bare
concrete surfaces may not be possible due to some form of
very thin coating or covering on the concrete, or additive
in the concrete that could inuence the readings. This scale
is not suitable for reading through thicker oor coverings
such as wood laminates etc. Readings from the reference
scale are comparative only and of help in identifying areas
with moisture problems.
