Electrical Impedance Measurement

Non-destructive measurement by electrical impedance.

The NK CM1700 Moisture Meter is a non-destructive digital instrument designed to determine the moisture content in concrete, pavements, cement and anhydrite screeds, plaster and related porous materials. Measurement is performed by electrical impedance: the unit generates a low-frequency electric field between its eight spring electrodes located on the base, without the need to drill or damage the surface.

It is especially useful for verifying the suitability of surfaces before applying coatings, installing wooden floors, or carrying out waterproofing works, ensuring that the substrate is within the acceptable moisture range for each system. Its 3.5 mm Jack and Mini-USB connectivity allows measurements to be extended with external probes for RH, temperature, dew point and wood moisture.

Application

  • Surface preparation prior to painting: verifying that the concrete or screed is within the permissible moisture range for the coating system.
  • Flooring installation: checks prior to laying parquet, vinyl, carpet, epoxy resins or raised access flooring systems.
  • On-site and building inspection: detection of damp areas, leaks or moisture build-up over large surfaces.
  • Monitoring concrete curing: tracking moisture levels during the drying and setting process.
  • Waterproofing and refurbishment: verification prior to the application of waterproofing systems or repair mortars.

Features

  • Non-destructive measurement by electrical impedance: no drilling or alteration of the substrate required.
  • 8 gold-plated spring electrodes with a measurement depth of 40-50 mm.
  • 8 factory-calibrated scales for concrete, cement, anhydrite, plaster and a relative scale.
  • Instant result when the unit is placed on the surface, with no waiting time.
  • Maximum value hold function (Max Hold) for hard-to-reach areas.
  • 5 mm Jack + Mini-USB connectivity for external RH, temperature, dew point and wood moisture probes.
  • Automatic power-off to extend battery life.
  • One-hand operation; compact and ergonomic format for fieldwork and laboratory use.
  • High-quality transflective graphic LCD with backlight.

FAQS

It allows large areas to be inspected in a matter of minutes, problem areas to be identified and preliminary checks to be carried out without altering the structure of the concrete.

Non-destructive equipment allows for rapid surface inspections, whilst in-situ systems measure the internal moisture content of the concrete using sensors installed within the slab.

It enables the detection of areas with excess moisture prior to installation, thereby avoiding rework, premature replacements and subsequent claims.

Because trapped moisture can subsequently migrate to the surface and generate pressures that compromise the adhesion and performance of the flooring, even months after installation.
