The Tramex FMK is the ultimate kit for instant, non-destructive quantitative moisture testing of concrete and wood flooring, as well as RH and dew point testing of concrete and ambient conditions, both pre and post application of floor covering materials, with Bluetooth and the accompanying Tramex Meters App.

The kit features the Tramex CMEX5 digital concrete moisture meter for non-destructive quantitative moisture testing of concrete using gravimetric testing as a baseline, comparative testing per ASTM F2659, and ambient conditions. The CMEX5 incorporates bayonet plug-in heavy-duty pin probes measuring moisture content in wood or WME in other building materials.

The CMEX5 also incorporates reusable Tramex Hygro-i2 RH probes for in-situ testing of concrete as per ASTM F2170. Tramex Hygro-i2 RH probes can be used with the Tramex Feedback Datalogger to give live readings and time logs of relative humidity, temperature and dew point in situ and in the environment.

An infrared surface thermometer gives surface temperature and dew point conditions when used in conjunction with the CMEX5 hygrometer. The Tramex ME5 allows for moisture testing of wood and includes a shallow-depth feature to eliminate the effect of the substrate when needed.

The Flooring Master Kit comes with an extension handle in a heavy-duty Tramex travel case. Bluetooth connectivity to the Tramex Meters App allows for visualisation of readings and data reporting to mobile devices, GeoTagging of test results, and creating, saving and sharing photos, reports and charts.
