The concrete moisture meter has a measuring range of 0.0 … 100.0%. For a measurement, the ball head is positioned on the test object by the concrete moisture meter. This guarantees a non-destructive measurement with the concrete moisture meter. The concrete moisture meter is therefore used, for example, for on-site inspections of buildings, wood and other surfaces.
PCE-PMI 2 is a nondestructive concrete moisture meter or dampness instrument that measures the moisture content of concrete and other building materials. It offers many preset characteristic curves based on alternative material densities. This digital moisture device gives quick and accurate moisture measurement without causing any damage to the test material.
The concrete moisture meter is designed for mobile use by technicians and assemblers. It not only measures the absolute moisture in construction materials or wood, but can also display data regarding air humidity and temperature.
For industrial continuous production of concrete, powders, wood, and other small aggregates when in-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the drying and mixing process is important. Consistent quality of every batch, reduction of the consumption of materials, and shortest possible drying and mixing times are the criteria which are important in materials production. The PCE-MWM 210 moisture test sensor of PCE Instruments helps meet those criteria through highly accurate moisture measurement.
The Concrete Moisture Meter FMW-T covers all your needs while measuring moisture contents in all types of wood and building materials. The Concrete Moisture Meter works without causing any damage to the material and it is mainly used to measure building walls.
The Concrete Moisture Meter FMW-B determines moisture content by means of the capacitive method. In the Concrete Moisture Meter an electromagnetic field quickly determines capacitance of wood.
The Concrete Moisture Meter FMC can accurately measure absolute humidity in diverse building materials. To detect humidity, the Concrete Moisture Meter has a connection for external sensors which can either be inserted into the building material or placed on it.
FME is a handheld concrete moisture meter for accurate measurement of the moisture content of paper, wood and building materials. The moisture meter features preset characteristic curves for material-specific moisture measurement. To detect moisture, the moisture meter requires external sensors (sold separately - see accessories) that can either be inserted into a material or placed on a material's surface, allowing for either destructive or non-destructive measurement.
The FMD 6 is a handy and versatile concrete moisture meter for reliable measurement of the moisture content of paper, wood and construction materials. The concrete moisture meter has preset characteristic curves for the moisture measurement of specific materials. The moisture meter needs external sensors (sold separately - please see accessory list) to operate.The sensors can be positioned on the surface of a material or inserted into a material, thereby permitting either non-destructive or destructive measurement.
Concrete is one of the most widely spread materials, used both, in private sector, like small building tasks in the garden or household, as well as in professional areas, when it goes about serious constructions, like bridges, buildings, various foundations. Measuring moisture content is not an optional task that may be carried out or neglected. 
Depending on the quality of the concrete mixture and then ready concrete, the service life of the constructions and, which is the most important, safety and robustness of them may fluctuate considerably. Application of the moisture meter definitely pays off in the future and the measurement should be carried out at all stages of the production, starting from the mixing stage till the moment of the concrete hardening. It is also important to pay attention to how much the concrete construction is exposed to rain or snow, eventual frost or heat, which elements are in direct contact with the concrete (metal, bricks, natural stone, wood). So, a concrete moisture meter is an instrument you need in any case.
Concrete moisture meters operate based on different measuring methods and it makes sense to take all the peculiarities into consideration to achieve the best, most accurate measuring result. One of the applied methods is the dielectric method, which is especially recommended for inspections when the surface should not be damaged. The concrete moisture meter is pressed to the surface and the pulses penetrate into the depth of the material. The moisture meter used for particular sort of concrete has information about the material in its memory. During the measurement the moisture meter registers the change in the character of the pulses, which are directly influenced by the moisture particles. 
The device due to the installed software recalculates the results of the measurements into the moisture value. The method is very reliable, accurate and the measurements can be carried out in a very short time.
During the mixing process, though, when concrete is not hard, moisture measurement is not less important, and the challenge is in that the moisture may be not homogeneously distributed in the whole batch, and the surface layer may provide different values from the results obtained from the bottom. That is why in-line measurement makes a lot of sense. The concrete moisture meter operating on microwave principle emits the energy and registers the loss of it, since the latter happens the more water is contained in the material. A certain amount of energy is reflected by the water particles and thus the device registers the difference and the moisture content can be calculated. This type of measurement is suitable for measuring process when the temperature does not change, since in the other case the task becomes very challenging, because of the need to compensate the non linearity.
