Ultimate Moisture Meter Kit For Moisture And Humidity Surveying Of Buildings And Building Materials
The Tramex BSMK is the ultimate kit for non-destructive testing of moisture content and humidity conditions in drywall, wood, plaster, brick, ceramic tiles, resilient flooring, laminates and roofing and numerous building materials and air spaces.
Tramex moisture meters are designed to locate elevated moisture & humidity conditions, which may be conducive to mould, microbial growth and wood destroying organisms.
These damp conditions can often be hidden within or behind a material such as drywall and not obvious from visual inspection without the help of a non-destructive moisture meter. Once the moisture source is identified and stopped, remedial action can be taken leading to a healthier building environment.
The Tramex RWS Roof & Wall Scanner allows for for instant, non-destructive evaluation of moisture conditions deep within wall and roofing systems.The Tramex digital MRH III and reusable Ambient Relative Humidity Hygro-i2 Short Probe allow for testing relative humidity, temperature and dew point in the environment.
The heavy-duty pin-probes measure moisture content in wood, and the insulated 7.8" (200mm) pins allow for deep wall cavity probing.
Concrete slab in situ relative humidity testing can also be performed with the reusable relative humidity probe and enclosed hole liners.
The Tramex Building Survey Inspection Kit comes in a protective heavy-duty carrying case with die-cut foam lining.

Important – this kit uses the MRH III generation
The BSMK5.1 is built around the MRH III meter, which uses the DIN accessory connector – not the bayonet connector used by the current CMEX5, MEX5 and DL-RHTX. Any RH probes or interface cables added to this kit must be the DIN versions, such as the RHIE2 cable and the AP-F2170 accessory pack.
If you are buying into the Tramex system now rather than adding to an existing MRH III setup, check with us first – the current-generation kits are built on different instruments and the accessories are not interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this kit use DIN accessories when other kits use bayonet?
Tramex changed the accessory connector between meter generations. The MRH III predates that change. It is a capable instrument, but its probes will not fit a CMEX5 or MEX5 and vice versa – which matters if you already own 5-series accessories or expect to buy them later.
What is the hole punch for?
Preparing test points in roofing and insulation systems so a pin electrode can reach the material beneath the membrane.
