The Best Moisture Meter On The Market

The GE Protimeter MMS Plus moisture meter is a matchless easy-to-use, handy and robust moisture measurement device useful for architects, engineers and other people in several construction, furniture and other related industries. It can be most useful when it concerns restoration of the buildings or structures damaged by flood, storms, water and fire. The presence of moisture and fungus can be harmful to both the structures as well as the people residing in them. GE Protimeter MMS offers both pin type as well as non-invasive surveying modes.

GE Protimeter MMS is a versatile moisture detecting and unmatched dampness analysis tool. Protimeter MMS can be used for various applications such as checking the moisture levels behind tiles, drywall, masonry, plaster, concrete blocks, stucco, tile and wood flooring, wood and other building materials. It can also be used for doing hygrometric inspections which are often required during a dehumidification project. It can also be used in checking if indoor ventilation systems are working properly in keep the humidity at an acceptable level.

Accessories:

Protimeter MMS is simple to use and furnished with the important accessories: a data downloading software cable; fast responding quick stick; sensor for surface temperature, deep wall insulated probes 5 inches long , pin probes for moisture, calibrating device, hygroscopic stick, table for calibrating different species of wood, book of instructions. There is clear LCD screen and it is provided with a colour LED display to show changes in moisture conditions. Protimeter MMS is simple to use and has only four buttons to operate it.

Modes of Use and Application:

The following are the details of four modes of applications of Protimeter MMS:

Search Mode:
In search mode Protimeter MMS is used for checking moisture below wall and floor coverings. Moisture beneath surfaces is detected using radio frequency technology. By selecting search mode, the instrument can be held against the floor or wall and the instrument will measure the moisture level beneath the surface. Protimeter MMS detects instantly the relative moisture condition. This mode is beneficial for locating the areas that may demand a more detailed analysis. The method is perfect for monitoring the moisture level in bigger areas where it may not be feasible to mark the particular surfaces using pin electrodes. The unit's non-invasive mode is capable of detecting moisture to a depth of 19mm using radio frequency technology.
Moisture Meter Mode:

This mode can be used to detect moisture on the surface using it's 2 pin probe. This is useful for getting a quick measurement of the moisture levels in things such as walls, flooring and woodwork etc. if you want to take a reading below the surface then you can simply press the two pin electrode-probes into masonry or wood that is to be checked. Protimeter MMS can be used as a moisture meter in two operational modes to meet a broad range of applications. The actual moisture content in the wood or the material's wood moisture equivalent (WME) value in other non-conducting materials like masonry can be measured directly. The instrument has long probes which you can use on walls to find out the moisture content at higher depths.

Hygrometer mode:

This mode of Protimeter MMS is used as a hygrometer to measure, dew point, relative humidity, (mixing ratio of grains lbs/ ppm by weight - this is possible with MMS plus model only) and temperature of environment either with a replaceable Hygrostick or a QuickStick probe supplied with the instrument and by just pressing a button.
The Hygrostick sensor supplied with Protimeter MMS can also be implanted in solid floors or walls by drilling the holes and inserting the Hydrosticks in the drilled holes to measure ERH, (equilibrium relative humidity of material). It is an ideal instrument for this purpose

Condensation Mode:
In this mode Protimeter MMS is used for condensation risk assessment and confirmation. The surface temperatures are measured using the surface temperature sensor for estimation of the condensation risk by comparing the surface temperature with the dew point of the environment being examined.

Protimeter MMS is suited to a wide variety of applications, and is guaranteed to be very useful.
