GENERAL
The Determinator and CMEX5 (or other
Tramex Concrete Meter) allow for a unified
gravimetric-based testing method of mois-
ture content (%MC) both on the surface and
within the body of the concrete.
%MC readings for both the in-situ and the
non-destructive surface tests eliminate
confusion between different testing method
data.
The Determinator conductive probes are
reusable, extendable, and require no plastic
hole liners.
The hole diameter required is the same for
the Hygro-i2 RH test as per F2170
The Concrete Moisture Probe consists of a
cradle, a probe tip and two extension
segments.
Choose to use the extension segment(s), or
not, depending on the depth of the slab. The
probe should be inserted to approximately
40% of the depth of the slab.

ASSEMBLY
1-1.4” 2” 1”

Probe Testing:
Determine the approximate depth of the
concrete slab.
Connect extension segment(s) to appropriate
depth:
Concrete between 4” to 6” in depth shall
require approximately 2 -1/4”” of probe
depth.
Concrete 6”- 9” or thicker shall require
approximately 3-1/4” of probe depth.
Concrete thicker than 9” – contact technical
services for instructions.
* The probe should be inserted to approxi-
mately 40% of the depth of the slab.
* Similar to ASTM F2170 Recommendations
for frequency of use: 3 Tests per 1,000
sq.ft. and 1 additional test for every addi-
tional 1,000 sq.ft. or partition thereof.
Insert the Concrete Moisture Probe into the
hole so that the cradle is flat on the surface.
Place your CMEX5 into the cradle so that it
sits flat.
Record readings.
