Tramex MEX5: All-in-One Non-Destructive Moisture & Humidity Meter
The Tramex MEX5 Moisture & Humidity Meter is the ultimate all-in-one diagnostic tool for building professionals, combining non-destructive moisture measurement with crucial ambient relative humidity (RH) and temperature monitoring. Essential for flooring, restoration, and building inspection, the MEX5 features dual-depth sensing (shallow approx 9mm and deep approx 30mm) and integrated Bluetooth for professional reporting. Get rapid, accurate data for wood, drywall, masonry, and ambient conditions using one versatile, rugged instrument.
Product Overview:
The Tramex MEX5 represents a powerful advancement in building diagnostics, integrating both material moisture assessment and environmental condition monitoring into a single, high-performance, pinless device. It is designed for professionals who need comprehensive, documented data to ensure quality, prevent installation failure, and manage restoration projects effectively.
Key Features & Professional Advantages:
Integrated Hygrometer Function: Unlike standard moisture meters, the MEX5 includes a built-in sensor to measure ambient Relative Humidity (RH), temperature, and dew point. This eliminates the need for separate RH meters, saving time and ensuring proper environmental readiness for coatings and installations.
Advanced Dual-Depth Sensing: Offers the critical ability to compare moisture readings at two depths: Shallow (approx 9 mm) and Deep (approx 30mm). This allows inspectors to accurately locate embedded moisture and differentiate between surface condensation and deep-seated leaks behind finishes.
Multi-Material Versatility: Features dedicated, pre-calibrated modes for accurate readings on Wood/Timber (approx 5%-30% MC), Drywall/Plaster, Tile, Masonry, and Roofing Membranes, making it suitable for nearly any building substrate.
Seamless Bluetooth Reporting: Connects instantly to the Tramex Meters App for modern workflow management. Capture geo-tagged readings, automatically generate moisture maps, log environmental data, and produce high-quality professional reports for clients and insurance audits.
Non-Destructive Testing: The pinless design measures through most common finishes (paint, vinyl, tile) without causing damage, perfect for finished environments and high-value properties.
Ideal Applications
Flooring & Coatings: Measure wood %MC and simultaneously verify ambient RH/temperature to ensure adherence to installation standards.
Water Damage & Restoration: Map the extent of water intrusion and track the progress of drying cycles using both substrate and ambient data.
Building Surveying: Conduct comprehensive structural assessments by detecting hidden moisture and logging environmental conditions in a single pass.
Quality Control: Quickly verify material readiness in concrete, wood, and subfloors before crucial installations.
