On porous material such as concrete, plaster, brick, wood, the moisture content of the substrate should be measured, as the presence of moisture within a material will result in poor adhesion, premature coating failure and poor appearance.
It is not sufficient to simply ensure that the surface is dry as often the surface of the substrate is the dries point - due to evaporation. It is important to establish the moisture content within the substrate itself.
The Elcometer 7000 range offers accurate and easy to use moisture measurement. Available with pin probes or non-invasive for non-destructive testing, the gauges give average moisture content by comparing the change in impedance between damp and acceptably dry substrates.
