Tramex Concrete Determinator Tech Kit

Compact Moisture Meter Kit For Measuring Surface and In Situ Moisture Content Of Concrete Floors and Slabs

A UNIFIED QUANTITATIVE MOISTURE CONTENT TEST METHOD

• Instant and Accurate
• Designed to work in the same drill-hole made for the F2170 test.
• Eliminate confusion between in-situ Relative Humidity tests and surface Moisture Content tests.
• Determine if moisture is coming from below or above the concrete slab surface.
• Determine the type and extent of mitigation if needed.
• Reusable, Extendable, and requires no plastic hole liners. 

A compact kit for instant and precise testing of both Surface and In-Body concrete Moisture Content in floors and slabs using a unified gravimetric-based testing method. The Tramex CMEX5 digital concrete moisture meter allows for non-destructive quantitative testing of concrete and comparative testing per ASTM F2659. The reusable Concrete Moisture Determinator Probe used with the CMEX5 allows for in-depth moisture content probe testing within the concrete, down to an extendable depth of up to 4" (100mm), Diameter 3/4” (19mm). The Concrete Determinator Tech Kit comes in a protective heavy-duty carrying case with die-cut foam lining. The Tramex Meters App allows you to GeoTag test results, create, save and share reports and charts.

Kit includes

• Concrete Moisture Encounter X5 - CMEX5.
• Free App available for Android and iOS (phone not included).
• Concrete Moisture Determinator Probe.

Product Design

The Concrete Moisture Probe when used with Tramex CMEX5 instruments operates on the principle that the electrical impedance of a material varies with its moisture content. The CMEX5 instrument is pressed onto the CMP cradle which is pressed onto the material surface with the pins fully compressed and the probe inserted into the pre-drilled 19mm (3/4") hole to measure the moisture content. The electrical impedance is measured by creating a low frequency alternating electric field between the electrodes and the probe, to a depth of up to 10cm (4”). This field penetrates the material under test. The very small alternating current flowing through the field is inversely proportional to the impedance of the material. The instrument detects this current, determines its amplitude and thus derives the moisture value.

Operating Procedure

The Determinator cradle should be flat on the slab surface and the Tramex Concrete Moisture Meter placed and firmly pressed onto the cradle with the pins fully compressed. The probe reads from the bottom, within the body of the slab, up to the surface.
