Description
The Tramex Flooring Installation Quick Check Kit (IQCK) is a compact kit for performing the Installation Quick Check test: instant, non-destructive, quantitative moisture content testing of concrete floors and ambient dew point conditions at the time of installation. It helps eliminate dew point issues when installing a floor and avoid moisture related floor failures.
Even if pre-installation tests have been performed, checking the %MC and ambient dew point conditions at the time of installation is crucial to ensure a successful installation. The Tramex CME5 moisture meter allows non-destructive quantitative testing of concrete moisture content using gravimetric testing as a baseline. The Infrared Thermometer and Dew Point Detector provides surface temperature readings and ambient temperature and dew point conditions to avoid condensation related issues and floor failures at the time of installation.
The Tramex Meters App allows data reporting to mobile devices, GeoTagging of test results, and creating, saving and sharing photos, reports and charts.
The kit comes in a Tramex Easy-travel case.
