MEP USER GUIDE
Concrete
Your Moisture Encounter Plus is not calibrated for
concrete. The Tramex Concrete Encounter instru-
ment is specifically designed for concrete flooring
and is recommended where quantitative measure-
ments are required. However a useful indication of
the moisture condition of a concrete or sub floor can
be obtained with the Moisture
Encounter Plus set on the wall/brick mode.
Comparative readings can also be obtained through
coverings such as vinyl, carpet and laminated wood
flooring by using the drywall scale.
Notes on Specific Gravity (SG)
The SG of wood varies between species and this has an
effect on moisture meter readings. The Moisture
Encounter Plus calibration is based on wood having an SG
of 0.50. Wood is normally categorised as follows:
Density SG at 12% MC
Exceptionally Light
Light
Medium
Heavy
Exceptionally Heavy
0.30 or Less
0.30 to 0.45
0.45 to 0.65
0.65 to 0.90
0.90 or More
