The Protimeter BLD2001 Mini is a low cost, highly durable moisture meter designed specifically for the wood floor installation industry. The BLD2001 is a pin type moisture meter that displays instant moisture content results on its 6 to 30% LED scale.
The Mini C can be used for making rapid moisture assessments in a wide range of building materials including wood, masonry, drywall, plaster and concrete. The instrument measuring pins are small and sharp which means measurements can be taken at the surface with virtually no mark left behind.
The numerical values represent the actual percent moisture content of wood (%MC) and the wood moisture equivalent (WME) of other materials. The Protimeter Mini C can be used to determine if the fabric of a building is in a dry, borderline or damp condition.
The three-color coded LED scale gives the operator instant informatuion regarding "Dry", At Risk" or "Wet" conditions.
It is important that hardwood finish materials are in moisture equilibrium with the local indoor environment. The BLD2001 Mini C has this information printed right on the label.
The Mini C can also be used to make quick readings on concrete sub floors. These readings are surface, but allow the operator to quickly determine the moisture risk.
The BLD2001 has a range of optional extras, including pin extension probes and a hammer electrode for getting measurements up to 1 1/2" below the surface.
The optional Protimeter Hammer Electrode can also be used with the Protimeter Mini C for determining moisture gradients in wood.
Optional Deep Wall Probes can be used with Protimeter Mini to measure the moisture level at depth in a wall, irrespective of the surface condition. Deep Wall Probes are very useful accessories when investigating the cause of the moisture problems within buildings.
