The Tramex MEP Moisture Encounter Plus is a non-destructive overall building inspection moisture meter based on Impedance measurement which has applications for numerous industries. It has many unique features that make moisture measurement and evaluation fast, precise and versatile.

The Tramex MEP detects and evaluates moisture conditions within various building materials such as Wood, Timber, Drywall, Roofing, Plaster & Brick by non-destructively measuring the electrical impedance. A low frequency electronic signal is transmitted into the material via the electrodes in the base of the instrument. The strength of this signal varies in proportion to the amount of moisture in the material under test. The Tramex MEP Moisture Encounter Plus determines the strength of the current and converts this to a moisture content value, displaying it on a large clear analog dial.

Used and trusted by generations of professionals worldwide for the purpose of:

• Locating moisture related problems within and behind a variety of building materials in the building envelope.
• Mapping the extent of moisture damage caused to buildings.
• Monitoring progressive drying conditions in the drying process of building materials and surfaces.
