Moisture Measurement
Digital Hygrometer
The F. Ball Digital Hygrometer provides accurate measurement of moisture in the subfloor base. Before bonding a decorative floorcovering to a cementitious or synthetic anhydrite screed base, it is essential that a moisture test is carried out to ensure that the base is sufficiently dry to receive the selected floorcovering

DIGITAL HYGROMETER BASIS OF TEST
The codes of practice BS 8203 (Installation of resilient floorcoverings), BS 5325 (Installation of textile floorcoverings) and BS 8201 (Installation of wood floorcoverings) recommend that dampness testing is carried out using a hygrometer. The hygrometer measures the Relative Humidity (R.H.) of a small volume of confined air in equilibrium with the subfloor, but isolated from the surrounding air.
The base can be considered dry enough to install most floorcoverings if a series of tests produce readings not exceeding 75% R.H. (65% R.H. for solid timber floorcoverings). For wood floorcoverings consult the suppliers for further advice.
