A Testo moisture meter (also called a Thermo hygrometer, hygrometer, or humidity meter) measures humidity and material moisture reliably, quickly, and precisely.
Air humidity is one of the most important measurement parameters. Depending on the application, different performance requirements are made when it comes to a humidity meter. That is why Testo offers an unbeatable diversity of instruments: from the simple humidity meter, via Thermo hygrometers and multifunction measuring instruments, through to the humidity data logger with software.
The humidity that occurs in a room essentially depends on the following factors:
Material moisture is mostly measured when it is a case of determining the moisture content of building materials or fuels. In both cases, it is vital that the moisture is below defined limit values. A digital moisture meter for material moisture supports you in this process.
Air humidity has a crucial influence in terms of how well or unwell people in a room feel. The ideal ambient humidity is between 30 and 65% RH. In addition, temperature is also of course crucial. As you certainly know: high humidity can be extremely stressful at correspondingly high temperatures. You soon feel as if you were in the jungle.
That is why a Testo moisture meter is generally fitted with humidity and temperature sensors. This means you can always keep an eye on the two corresponding values. Depending on the model, your moisture meter can also calculate and show the dewpoint temperature based on these values. This is in turn crucial in terms of assessing areas in a room that are susceptible to mould.
You will find different data loggers at Testo, which means you can ensure the areas where you want to carry out measurements are equipped in the best possible way. The focus here should be on accurate measurement results, which are important for data analysis. The question of how the data can be transmitted for analysis is also an interesting one. The security of the data and the repeatability of the measurements are an important factor too. There are two different versions when it comes to data transmission and using the instruments, USB and WIFI Data Loggers.
The USB data logger is very popular to use because in most cases it can be quickly recharged and it provides optimum measurement data security. This form of data logger also already has a calibration certificate and a configuration file. This makes it possible to generate the data directly on a terminal device in a PDF file and then print this out. The analysis can then be done straight away. The advantages of the data logger are particularly practical.
The radio data logger is another possible version. It may make sense to work with wireless LAN, particularly when you want to use data measurement to check either several areas or larger ones too. The data are transmitted to a chosen terminal device and you can keep an eye on all the areas. This means you save both time and costs.
