Page 3: Application
1. Application Moisture Meter PCE-WP24 is designed for quick and non-damaging measurement of moisture contents in wood and building materials. The device measures the dielectric constant (SIC) of the material. The material is penetrated by the electromagnetic field generated by the device. The moisture meter is equipped with knobs for setting the density and thickness of wood and density and thickness of concrete and other building materials. -
Page 4: Description Of Controls
3. Description of controls There are two control knobs on the front panel: upper – to select the operating function, OFF – power off MATERIAL SELECTION – start-up of material (diodes) switching, the moment the knob is moved to DENSITY sets the material type DENSITY –... -
Page 5: Preparing The Instrument With Changes To Density Or/And Thickness Parameters
Preparing the instrument with changes to density or/and thickness parameters Follow these steps: • set the upper knob to MATERIAL SELECTION • when the WOOD diode is lit set the upper control knob to DENSITY and then set the required density using the lower control knob, •... -

Page 8: Measurements
6.3 Measurements The measurements should be conducted in at least several places. These places should be flat, smooth and clean. The actual result of the measurements is the arithmetic average of all the measurements. Hold the device as shown on fig. 4. Press the electrodes hard against the concrete. Read the result. Fig. -
Page 9: Determining The Density Of Building Materials
6.5 Determining the density of building materials Determining the density of building materials is based on assumption that for a nearly dry building material the result should be almost zero percent. Case A A sample (fragment) of the material is available. It can be removed and dried separately (e.g. brick, ceramic plate, concrete slab). -
