The Protimeter Mini moisture meter series has been the choice for thousands of users
across the world for more than 30 years. The enduring popularity and success of these
instruments is attributable to their versatility, simple design, robust construction and ease of use.
Typical users include:
- Home inspectors
- Flooring contractors
- Termite pest control officers
- Wood product manufacturers and traders
- Cleaning and floor restoration professionals
- Woodworkers
Building Surveying
The Protimeter Mini is ideal for assessing the moisture condition in buildings. A color-coded
scale enables the user to assess the moisture level of wood and dry wall at a glance. The
numerical values represent the actual percent moisture content of wood (% MC) and the
wood moisture equivalent (WME) of concrete, dry wall and other materials. The Mini can be
used to determine if the fabrics of a building are in a dry, borderline or damp condition.
Optional hammer electrode and deep wall probes can be used with the Mini to measure the
moisture level at depths in walls and floors, regardless of the surface condition. These options
are useful accessories when investigating the cause of moisture problems within buildings.
Quality Control Applications
The Protimeter Mini is a precision instrument suitable for a wide range of quality control
applications on construction sites, for manufacturers and for storage environments. Contractors
use the meter to assess if plasterwork is sufficiently dry for painting.
Manufacturers of wooden products such as furniture, roof trusses and pallets use the
Mini for checking the moisture content of timber as delivered, and through the manufacturing
process. Home inspectors check moisture levels to assess the risk of mold grade.
When taking readings in awkward positions, the Mini can be used with the moisture probe
and lead, supplied as standard with the instrument.
