GE Introduces New Handheld Moisture Meter
- The Non-Invasive Protimeter Aquant ™ Can Detect Moisture in Variety of Applications -
Wilmington, MA - June 8, 2004 - GE Infrastructure Sensing a leading provider of precision sensing products, systems and services, announced today the introduction of a new non-invasive moisture meter - the Protimeter Aquant™
The new meter uses non-invasive radio frequency to detect moisture in building materials by simply placing the meter on the surface. The meter can be used to measure moisture levels, not only directly in materials but also below wall and floor coverings such as tile, wood and vinyl.
The GE Protimeter Aquant provides instant results from up to ¾" below the surface and displays the readings on both a numeric digital display and a color changing LED scale. This changing color scale provides a quick visual indication of the materials moisture condition. For example, a green light would indicate safe air dry; a yellow green light would indicate a risk of decay; and a red light would indicate a possible exsessive moisture which can lead to microbial growth and possible problems with structural integrity. The Protimeter Aquant has variable auto shut off as well as a hold reading feature. The Aquant has the ability to be reset to zero on material and in the air giving the operator the ability to fine tune the moisture detection process.
"This new moisture meter can be used by a range of professionals including Home Inspectors, Marine Surveyors, Flooring Contractors, Cleaning and Restoration, and Termite pest control companies," states Chris Ranwell, Sales Manager at GE Infrastructure Sensing. The Protimeter Aquant will provide instant readings with no visible marks to the material under test".
Measurement measurement scale 0-999 (relative), Operating range 32 - 105 °F up to 95% RH.
