Technical Moisture Meter FMC

FMC Moisture detector for building materials

to measure absolute humidity

The FMC Moisture detector can accurately measure absolute humidity in diverse building materials. To detect

humidity, the FMC moisture detector has a connection for external sensors which can either be inserted into the

building material or placed on it. This detector corrects the measured humidity value in real percentages in relation to

the selected material and the temperature (according to dry / absolute humidity). The humidity detector can be used

both in input controls and to measure on site: concrete, asbestos, cement, plaster, lime-stone, pavement, bricks, etc.

The FMC moisture detector has some characteristic curves stored to measure different materials. These curves can

be

displayed

by

accessing

them

through

the

keyboard.

It is important to choose a humidity probe that best suits the material which is going to be measured. There are

different models for different applications and materials. The FMC humidity detector can be used for all kind of jobs.

- High accuracy

- High robustness

- Characteristic curves AS / NZS 1080.1

- Adjustable characteristic values of wood

- Adjustable characteristic values of any material

- Adjustable characteristic paper values

- Temperature correction (manually)

- Detector of resistance humidity

- Adjustable auto shut-off

- Diverse humidity probes can be adapted to the detector

- Additional calibration block

Characteristic material curves / Temperature compensation

With the FMC humidity detector for building materials it is possible to determine with high accuracy the real moisture

content by introducing the corresponding characteristic value of every material (for the characteristic curve of the

stored material) in the detector. Some charts with more than 500 characteristic values for wood, building materials and

paper

will

be

included

in

the

delivery.

Temperature must be taken into consideration. As the temperature of the material influences its electric power

capacity (and also its humidity), a temperature compensation has to be carried out. It can be adjusted in the detector

with

1°C

intervals

(manual

compensation).

Below you will see an extract of the characteristic curves in alphabetical order of all the most important wood types

(they are stored in the humidity detector). We can also send another list with more wood types.
