The right moisture meter makes all the difference! Protimeter made improvement to enhance the Protimeter Surveymaster. This versatile pin and non-invasive meter is ergonomically designed for easy, one-handed operation to measure moisture in buildings and other related structures both on and below the surface. This allows you to assess moisture levels for new or refurbishing activities and diagnose moisture-related problems in existing buildings.

The Surveymaster™ can help building professionals—such as contractors, surveyors, home builders and architects—assess building moisture levels during new build and refurbishing activities. Excessive moisture in buildings can lead to decay and deterioration of components and decorative finishes. Professionals involved with the identification, management and remedy of moisture need tools that help them to:

• Identify the extent of the moisture penetration
  
• Diagnose the cause of the problem
• Monitor change in the moisture level

Protimeter moisture meters and hygrometers satisfy these requirements comprehensively. The Surveymaster™ is the preferred industry choice for surveying and investigating moisture in buildings.

Protimeter Hygromaster 2 Thermo-Hygrometer

Protimeter Hygromaster 2 hand held Thermo-Hygrometer The Protimeter Hygromaster 2 is the latest in hand held hygrometry technology. Features outstanding performance with a simple and easy to use interface with multiple Psychometric calculations and a non-contact surface IR temperature probe.

The Protimeter Hygromaster2 is a powerful and versatile thermo-hygrometer. This product is used to measure relative humidity, air temperature and surface temperature of structures. Additionally, the difference between dew point and Surface temperature can also be displayed for condensation risk assessment applications.

Two Operational Modes

This reliable moisture meter has two modes of operation—search and measure. These functions can help the user to distinguish sub-surface from surface moisture, essential information when trying to establish the extent and cause of a dampness problem.

Search Mode Non-Invasive

The search mode is used to assess the moisture level beneath the surface of solid walls and floors independently of surface conditions. The nominal depth of the measurement is 3/4 inch (19 mm); this depends on the density and other characteristics of the material being measured. When held against the surface, as shown below, the instrument transmits a signal into the material. The relative moisture level is shown on the digital display and its moisture condition is shown on the accompanying scale of color-coded lights. This measurement presentation helps the user to:

• Look for moisture behind wall and floor coverings, such as tile and vinyl.
• Assess, in relative terms, if the material is in a dry, borderline or damp condition.
• Map the extent of the problem numerically.
• Non-invasive pinless radio frequency finds moisture at depth where moisture is not always directly visible—up to 3/4 in (25.4 mm) below the surface.
• This mode of measurement is not adversely affected by the presence of surface moisture.

Measure Mode Pin-Type

This mode is used to measure the moisture level at the surface and at incremental depth, when used with the auxiliary probes. Measure mode readings are precise and specific to the immediate area of contact of the electrodes. The actual moisture content of wood is shown on the digital display with the corresponding moisture condition shown on the accompanying scale of color-coded lights. Wood Moisture Equivalent (WME) values are shown for other non-conductive, porous building materials.

Applications

When concise and accurate environmental readings need to be reported, the Surveymaster gets the job done. The ability to use both functions to instantly determine the potential evidence of excessive moisture makes this instrument ideal for many applications including:

• Building survey
  
• Fire and flood restoration
• Concrete and wood floor moisture measurement
• Indoor air quality
• Environmental health
