Evaluation scale of measuring value For some calibration curves, the measuring value shown on the display is evaluated in 4 different increments. This evaluation scale bases on the experience of Schaller GmbH. As the increments can differ according to the craft resp.

The interpretation of the shown floor screed water content needs the experience of the user, based on the recommendations of the floor screed producer. The thickness of floor screed can differ. The humimeter GE1 always measures the supreme layer of 30 mm. Version 1.0_en...

If the thickness of floor screed is less than 30 mm, iron gratings, heating pipes and other metal can cause an incorrect measuring value. Therefore please look for a measuring position without any metal in the measuring field. The device displays an average value of a layer of 30 mm. The moisture of deeper layers may be considerably higher than that value.

Density ranges: Concrete: between 2200kg/m³ and 2600kg/m³ Floor screed: between 1800kg/m³ and 2200kg/m³ Anhydrite floor screed: 2600kg/m³ CM method Another common method of determining the moisture of the bottom layer of screed is the CM method. The accuracy of the CM method depends on various parameters and is not suited for a comparison with the humimeter GF2 resp.
