The Restorative Drying industry needs to have the right diagnostic and drying equipment to carry out restorative work in a professional and efficient manner.
Excess moisture and humidity left within a buildingís environment or in its structural elements is usually the cause of the greatest damage such as rot, mold growth, reduced insulation values, failure of flooring, roofing and wall support etc.
For a restorative drying professional to carry out the restorative drying process correctly, the moisture and humidity conditions of the building structure and its environment need to be monitored during the drying process, as well as at the beginning and finish of the job. This cannot be done successfully without the proper equipment.
Tramex has been manufacturing and supplying Moisture and Humidity meters to the Water Restoration industry for over 20 years. We offer the best and most comprehensive range of both Non-Destructive and Pin type meters for the industry. We describe below the TRAMEX meters, which are the most popular and most suited to the industry.
Moisture Encounter Plus MEP
The Moisture Encounter PLUS MEP is an upgraded version of the world's most
popular and successful non-destructive moisture meter the Moisture Encounter.
With no probes or pins to cause surface damage, the MEP uses external
rubber electrodes, in direct contact with the surface for best sensitivity
and signal penetration.
 |
Benefits:
- Non-destructive measurement, no surface damage to material being tested.
- Three measurement ranges optimized for testing different materials.
- Deep signal penetration up to 1¼ inches (30mm) to detect elevated moisture through most covering materials without having to damage the material being tested.
- External rubber electrodes make direct contact with material for best sensitivity, repeatability and greater depth of signal penetration.
- Wide range of readings of 5% to 30% on the wood scale and 0 to 100 on the comparative scale for other materials.
- Large, clear, easy to read meter.
- Hold function allows the user to “Freeze” the reading taken in awkward locations.
- Audio Warning Tone for high moisture readings. Can be switched on or off.
- Auto Power-Down switches the meter off when not in use. Preserves battery power.

MRH Moisture and Humidity Measurement Meter (Digital)
A pocket size non-destructive digital display moisture meter for measuring the % moisture content in wood and comparative readings in other building materials. It incorporates a switchable specific gravity adjustment for most wood species, plus it provides relative readings deep into most building materials. such as Drywall, Roofing, Brick, Ceramic tile etc. The MRH also has the additional option of a Hygrometer mode to measure Relative Humidity, Temperature, Dew Point Temperature and Grains/lb.by simply plugging in the optional Tramex Relative Humidity Probe. Allows for use with ASTM F2170 and ASTM F2420. The MRH operates as a pin-type wood meter when used with the WPIE (Wood Probe Interface Electronics) and a Hand or Hammer Electrode.
