Product details (archived)

The information below is retained for reference only. This item is discontinued and cannot be ordered.

The Protimeter Aquant Non-Invasive Moisture Meter (by GE) has a digital display that is synchronized with a color coded LED scale. The display shows the relative moisture level of the material under investigation on a scale of 0-999 and the color coded LED scale indicates the material’s moisture condition. To use, the Aquant is simply held against the surface of the material under investigation as shown. There are no needles to mark the surface. The Search mode utilizes a capacitive-coupled sensor located in the bulge on the underside of the meter. It gives relative readings up to a nominal depth of 3/4 in. (19 mm) into the material against which it is held. The actual depth of measurement is subject to the characteristics of the material under test.

Used to assess and monitor the relative moisture level of materials including plaster, masonry, lumber, gypsum, shingles, concrete, fiberglass (GRP) and many more. It is ideal for checking the relative moisture condition of building elements such as solid walls and floors prior to more rigorous and time-consuming investigative procedures that may be required. Leak paths in shower cubicles (behind ceramic tiles), in caravans/motor homes and mobile homes can be identified with the Aquant before visible water damage occurs. Also, this instrument may be used for surveying GRP boat hulls for the early detection of damp spots that could lead to blistering caused by osmosis.
