Had a quick play with one wen I was down at Amtico. Very swanky. If I isn't already have the mms I'd have one of those in a heartbeat.
Thing I don't get, I had MMS and upgraded to Tramex but for the amount of money they charge for mms and they don't give a hard case just a "manbag"
Also the tramex gives a real reading in scan mode. However a European standard not a BS standard. But at least it does both.
I dont belive it does. Protimeters work on there own scale which has no reference. Someone correct me if it does MC?
The instrument can now be used to takeactual %MC readings in wood and%WME readings in non-conductivesolid materials other than wood
Being as I have only ever used Hygrometers i`m a bit lost. Everything I have measured is in RH. And thats the scale I use for applying dpms etc What scale is wme ? I have seen a guy read his mms and know how it relates to RH, but I don`t have a clue ?
Wood moisture equivalant Pins (resistivity/conductivity) up to 10mm deep 8-99% moisture content of dry wood/%WME (for other non conductive materials) - Relative readings over 30%
WME is wood moisture equivalent, it basically means that a reading of say 12% in wood is around equal in the lights on the front to 75% rh if testing concrete. Basically a guess guide. The 'guess guide' is there so you can find the wettest area so you can set up a hygrometer. A hygrometer reads in RH and is the ONLY BRITISH STANDARD TEST. MC is a European test that runs on a scale of 0-5% depending on whos meter you use. 2.5% being around 75% rh. All the above tests tho are worthless as they are not British Standards. RH is what we use in the u.k, just like we you MPH as our speed reference.
