Regular checking of moisture content during the drying out period of a new concrete floor or floor screed is important to ensure it has reached sufficient dryness to accept the floor covering. Excess moisture in the concrete could cause latent problems such as condensation or failure of the adhesive under the floor covering.

The Concrete Moisture Encounter 4 will give you an instant reading of moisture content up to 6% concrete; up to 0 - 10 comparative on gypsum screed, enabling you to make an informed decision on when to install the floor covering.

The Concrete Encounter is a hand-held electronic moisture meter that utilizes non-destructive impedance measurement for moisture determination. Parallel co-planer electrodes are mounted on the unit's base, which transmit low-frequency signals into the concrete or cement floor to a depth of approx. 1/2 inch (12.5 mm). The results give the average moisture content to a depth of 2-6 inches during the drying period.

While concrete under normal conditions can never be completely dry, the instrument has been calibrated on acceptably dry material. It compares the change in impedance caused by the presence of water and displays moisture content on an analog dial.
