MOISTURE ENCOUNTER 5 USER GUIDE
- Back to Top -
Comparative results do not necessarily indicate low,
medium or high levels of moisture but indicate the area
of the 0-100 comparative scale where the readings lie.
It is best practice to find a known acceptably dry area
to compare to.
Acceptably Dry Brick, Block:
The Moisture Encounter ME5 will give low readings
when the brick, block is acceptably dry. Due to the
hygroscopic nature of this material, moisture values
are affected by ambient humidity and thus can vary
according to the climate conditions. We recommend
checking what is ‘acceptably dry’ in your area and use
the instrument to compare these with readings that are
‘acceptable’ or 'unacceptable'.
