About Protimeter Moisture Meters
Protimeter, with over 70 years of experience in moisture measurement technology, has established itself as an industry leader in professional moisture meters. The company's expertise in moisture detection and measurement stems from its origins in timber preservation, where precise moisture content readings were crucial for effective treatment processes.
Protimeter moisture meters are designed to detect and measure moisture content in various materials through different measurement technologies: pin-type probes that measure electrical resistance between contact points and non-invasive sensors that detect moisture below surfaces without leaving marks. Some advanced models, like the Surveymaster series, combine both methods in a single instrument.
The range includes specialised instruments for different applications: the TimberMaster series focuses on wood moisture measurement with calibrations for 150 wood species, while the Speedy series uses chemical reagents and pressure measurement for precise moisture content determination in construction materials. The Aquant series provide non-invasive moisture measurements ideal for initial surveys.
Key specifications across the range include:
- Measurement depths up to 19mm for non-invasive models
- LED indicators showing moisture conditions (dry, borderline, and damp)
- Temperature compensation on select models
- Data logging capabilities on advanced units
- LCD displays with backlight on digital models
- Optional probe accessories for deep measurements
- Battery operation for portable use
Essential measurement capabilities include wood moisture equivalency (WME) percentages, relative moisture readings, and, in some cases, actual moisture content percentages. The Protimeter MMS3, their most advanced moisture meter, adds features like Bluetooth connectivity for data logging and environmental measurements, including relative humidity and surface temperature.
Protimeter moisture meters serve diverse applications: building surveys and inspections, water damage assessment, timber industry quality control, construction moisture monitoring, flood damage restoration, and floor installation verification.
