PCE Instruments PMI 3 Moisture Meter for Concrete/Wood

Model # PMI 3

The moisture meter is a small and reliable measuring instrument for the determination of existing moisture in, for example, concrete and wood. Corresponding scales for measuring moisture are already stored in the library of the moisture meter.
For each scale in the moisture meter, a separate alarm limit can be stored. As soon as the set alarm limit is exceeded, the moisture meter will sound an audible alarm.
Another special feature of the moisture meter is the possibility of displaying the calcium carbide method (CM%) for screed. Also in this measurement, the moisture meter is placed on the surface to be tested.

The moisture meter is a small and reliable measuring instrument for the determination of existing moisture in, for example, concrete and wood. Corresponding scales for measuring moisture are already stored in the library of the moisture meter. After selecting the scale, the required measurement can be carried out with the moisture meter. The measurement result is displayed on the moisture meter both numerically and graphically after a few seconds.
For each scale in the moisture meter, a separate alarm limit can be stored. As soon as the set alarm limit is exceeded, the moisture meter will sound an audible alarm. In order to save the inserted batteries with the moisture meter, the meter shuts itself off after 5 minutes if not used.
Another special feature of the moisture meter is the possibility of displaying the calcium carbide method (CM%) for screed. Also in this measurement, the moisture meter is placed on the surface to be tested. Based on the corresponding scale, the measured value is converted into a CM% value (calcium carbide method). This gives the operator a guideline value via the calcium carbide method.
