8040 moisture meter & damp meter - multi-purpose with air temperature measurement
The 8040 moisture meter is a compact general purpose meter designed to be used by building professionals and tradesmen to check the moisture level in a variety of construction materials. The timber moisture meter incorporates a range of design features that make it simple to use and easy to read.
The digital meter incorporates seven scales as listed below:-
Scale 1 - hard wood 8.9 to 95.7 %
Scale 2 - soft wood 7.1 to 80.0 %
Scale 3 - plaster 1.0 to 2.5 %
Scale 4 - anhydrite 0.0 to 3.3 %
Scale 5 - cement mortar 0.7 to 3.8 %
Scale 6 - lime mortar 0.5 to 7.4 %
Scale 7 - bricks 0.0 to 23.4 %
The moisture meter simultaneously displays both the moisture content of the material and the ambient air temperature over the range of -9.9 to 49.9 °C.
The 8040 moisture meter is powered by three 1.5 volt AAA batteries that give a minimum of 250 hours battery life. The instrument will power off automatically after ten minutes, maximising battery life.
Accurate monitoring of building materials ensures best practice in the construction industry. The 8040 moisture meter is an essential tool for flooring surveyors, building and construction engineers.
