Interpreting the Reading: Readings must be evaluated relative to the purpose for which they were taken. You must determine the readings, which work best for the products you install or apply. Always refer to the adhesive and/or floor covering recommendations for the acceptable moisture condition of the concrete.
(kg. / 304.8 sq.m.) You can establish your own baseline or comfort range reading for use with the Wagner C575 meter. Once established, the baseline will become your “not-to- exceed” reading, indicating sub-floors that you cannot safely install your adhesives, paints or floor coverings over.
4. Add a volume of water that is equal to 1/4 the weight of the dry concrete sample. By definition this is 25% MC (moisture content). Measrue this sample with the C575 to see what the reading is at 25% MC For more details on this testing methods visit our website at http://www.moisturemeters.com.
