Description
The Tramex Water Damage Restoration Master Kit is the ultimate kit for moisture content and relative humidity testing and monitoring of ambient conditions, concrete, wood, tiles, drywall, plaster and numerous building materials after water damage.
For walls and floors, the kit features the Tramex ME5 for dual-depth, non-invasive testing of moisture conditions in drywall, wood, plaster, brick, tiles, resilient flooring, laminates and roofing. The dual-depth feature allows for the elimination of substrate influence on readings.
For concrete, the Tramex CMEX5 digital concrete moisture meter provides non-destructive quantitative moisture content measurement using gravimetric testing as a baseline, comparative testing of concrete and ambient conditions measurement. The CMEX5 incorporates a bayonet plug-in port for the heavy-duty pin probe to measure moisture content in wood or WME in other building materials, as well as reusable Tramex Hygro-i2 RH probes for in situ testing of concrete, building materials, structures and air spaces.
For ambient conditions, reusable Hygro-i2 probes can be used with the Tramex Feedback Datalogger to give live readings and time logs of relative humidity, temperature and dew point in the environment and in materials and air spaces. An infrared surface thermometer provides surface temperature and dew point conditions used in conjunction with the CMEX5 hygrometer.
Bluetooth connectivity to the Tramex Meters App allows visualization of readings, moisture mapping and data reporting to mobile devices. Users can GeoTag test results, create, save and share photos, reports and charts, and view the meter screen on a phone when extending to hard to reach places.
The kit comes with an extension handle in a protective heavy-duty carrying case with die-cut foam lining.
