An essential tool for microbial IAQ investigations, moisture meters detect excess moisture in materials that is often not visible and that can quickly lead to microbial growth and IAQ problems. It is important to determine the source of moisture quickly and accurately and to identify areas for remediation and control. Traditional moisture meters use small probes that penetrate the material to be tested (conductive testing). Encounter moisture meters use a non-destructive technology to measure moisture.
Principle of Operation
Encounter meters operate on the principal of non-destructive impedance
measurement. Parallel coplanar electrodes are fitted on the base of
the instrument. During operation, low-frequency signals are transmitted
into the material being tested to measure the change in impedance caused
by the presence of moisture. This reading is translated by the instrument
into a moisture content reading.
Moisture Encounter Plus
759-103 Moisture Encounter Plus
The Moisture
Encounter Plus provides non-destructive accurate readings of the percentage
of moisture in wood and relative readings of moisture in drywall, roofing,
plaster, and brick. Three sensitivity ranges make moisture
measurement quick and easy. The Moisture Encounter Plus can detect
moisture through ceramic tiles, vinyl flooring, vinyl composition
tile, flooring laminates, wall
coverings, drywall, carpet, or roofing membranes and coatings.

Concrete Encounter CMEXpert II
759-110 Concrete Encounter CMEXpert II
The new handheld CMEXpert II concrete moisture meter instantly measures moisture
content up to 7% in concrete, gypsum cement, and other slabs and screeds
according to ASTM F 2659 without damaging the surface. Moisture content is
displayed on a large LCD. When used with an RH probe accessory, the CMEXpert
II can be used to test concrete slabs according to ASTM F 2170 (in situ)
or ASTM F 2420 (RH hood) and complies with BS Standards 5325 and 8203. A
wood moisture pin-type probe accessory is also available for measuring from
7 to 40% moisture content in wood.

Advanced Survey Encounter
759-101 Advanced Survey Encounter
The non-destructive Survey Encounter detects moisture beneath surfaces quickly and accurately. Its powerful microcontroller processes readings and uses existing temperature and specific gravity information in its built-in library to accurately calculate moisture content for specific materials. The library contains 32 wood species, three wall types, and three roofing types. Additional wood species can be accessed through provided software. Store and download data to a PC for analysis or reporting.

MRH III Moisture/Humidity Meter
759-104 MRH III Moisture/Humidity Meter
The high-performance MRH III digital display moisture meter instantly measures moisture content in wood and other building materials using a non-destructive impedance method. An optional wood moisture probe provides accurate pin-type measurements of moisture content in wood to determine correct moisture level for installation. An optional RH probe changes the MRH to hygrometer mode to measure humidity (displays in both %RH and mixing ratio [grains/pounds or grams/kg]), temperature, and dew point in structural materials such as concrete and drywall as well as environmental conditions within a structure. The RH probe also allows testing of concrete slabs using the in situ method (ASTM F2170) or RH hood method (ASTM 2420), BS 5325, and BS 8203 standards.
