Tramex CME5 Analog Concrete Moisture Meter

The Tramex CME5 Concrete Moisture Encounter is an analog, non-destructive moisture meter designed for measuring moisture content in concrete slabs and screeds. It uses a low-frequency signal to provide quantitative readings to a depth of approximately ¾" while avoiding drilling or surface damage. The meter offers comparative readings for gypsum floor screeds and integrates Bluetooth connectivity to the Tramex Meters app for moisture mapping and reporting. This durable and ergonomic device is suited for flooring, coatings, restoration and inspection professionals.

Key features:

• Non-destructive operation enabling repeated tests without drilling or surface damage
• Analog dial display with 0–6% concrete moisture range and comparative scale for gypsum screeds
• Bluetooth connectivity to the Tramex Meters app for moisture mapping, reporting and Geo-tagging
• Spring-loaded contact pins and rugged housing for consistent readings on varied surfaces

Q: Can the CME5 be used on painted or coated concrete slabs?
A: Yes, but readings taken on coated or painted surfaces provide only qualitative or comparative values.

Q: What is the measurement depth of the CME5?
A: The CME5 measures moisture to a depth of approximately ¾" into a concrete slab.

Q: Does the CME5 require drilling into the concrete surface?
A: No, it is a fully non-destructive moisture meter that requires no drilling or surface damage.

Q: What app features are available when using the CME5 with Bluetooth?
A: The Tramex Meters app allows moisture mapping, reporting, Geo-tagging and photo documentation.
