Moisture measurements are obtained by following a simple test
procedure:
- Prepare and weigh the material sample using the electronic
balance.
- Place the sample in the Speedy vessel.
- Add the reagent to the recess in the Speedy cap and seal
the vessel.
- Shake the Speedy to mix the reagent with the sample.
- Read the moisture content directly from the integral gauge.
Building Restoration and Refurbishment
Building surveyors involved with diagnosing the cause of
dampness in buildings use the Speedy tester to determine the
moisture level in walls and floors. The Speedy complements
moisture meters and hygrometers that are also used for diagnosis.
Moisture content in Solid Floors
If moisture related floor failures are to be avoided, concrete
slabs, cementitious screeds and anhydrite screeds have to
be in a dry condition before decorative floors finishes including
wood, vinyl and carpet are laid. The Speedy tester is used
to measure the moisture content of a sample of material
removed from the floor before the decorative finish is laid.
