Measured value assessment for building material
For building materials the measurement results of the dielectric
measuring method can only be used as reference for a rough ori-
entation. Conclusions with respect to absolute humidity in
mass % (M%) can only be drawn for measurements, performed
with the exact same marginal conditions and compositions of the
building material as indicated for the test set-up in the chart
below.
This graph was created in collaboration with the Institute of Build-
ing Materials Research of the RWTH Aachen (IBAC) and illustrates
the correlation between the measured value and the
mass-related moisture content of the examined building materi-
als.
The spread of the achieved measurement results for the dielectric
measuring method is clearly higher than for the resistance meas-
uring method.
The dielectric measuring method is not suited for the quantitative,
but only for the qualitative moisture measurement in near-surface
areas.
The indicated measured values are not the result of a qualified
moisture measurement as per VOB (German Construction Con-
tract Procedures) or relevant specialist regulations.
The measured values are only to be interpreted as indicators (dry,
damp, wet).
For building materials the measurement results of the dielectric
measuring method can only be used as reference for a rough ori-
entation.
Use the MultiMeasure Studio Standard PC software (free standard
version) or MultiMeasure Studio Professional (paid professional
version, dongle required) to carry out a detailed analysis and vis-
ualisation of your measured results. You can only use all config-
uration, visualisation and functional options of the device when
using this PC software and a TROTEC
®
USB dongle (professional).
