DRYWALL (COMPARATIVE)
SCALE 3
The Moisture Encounter 5 can identify excess Moisture
within and behind drywall. As calibration is not practical
on this type of construction, readings should be taken
from the comparative bottom line of the meter dial (0 to
100). Scale 2 Shallow Depth can be utilised for Drywall if
readings are required whilst reducing the influence of the
substrate materials.
CARPET, VINYL & LOW DENSITY COVERINGS
(COMPARATIVE)
SCALE 3
Scale 3 can also be used to measure a wide variety of
materials and substrates with low density including carpet,
vinyl tiles, VCT and most wall and floor coverings etc. Scale
3 will take readings within and behind these materials and
into the substrate.
Excess moisture trapped behind covering materials can
cause major problems and, if undetected, can eventually
lead to system failure. This scale should only be used using
the comparative scale (0 – 100).
