Tramex Skipper Plus Marine Moisture Meter (Non-Destructive)


Tramex Skipper Plus is a non-destructive moisture meter for the marine industry

The Tramex Skipper Plus non-destructive moisture meter provides a complete, safe method for detecting excess moisture in GRP and wooden boats. Three scales of sensitivity allow moisture detection in salt or fresh water.

Moisture can cause peeling and blistering of applied finishes and treatments, newly applied finishes can fail prematurely if the wood it is applied to is not sufficiently dry. Hidden or trapped moisture can lead to mold and biological growth.

The Tramex Skipper Plus can be moved across the surface of the boat to moisture survey in a fast and thorough manner, detecting moisture non-destructively through paint and coatings on wood up to a depth of 1.25". The Tramex Skipper Plus can also be used to detect leaks and trace them to source both above and below decks.

reddot Typical Applications
line
Early detection before blistering appears
Identifying the affected area
Monitoring hull during de-humidification and repairs
Checking stripped or peeled areas for dryness prior to re-coating

line
reddot How it works
line The Tramex Skipper Plus moisture meter detects moisture in wood or GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) by measuring the resistance between two low frequency AC signals transmitted from the soft rubber electrodes on the base of the instrument.

Because salt water is more conductive than fresh water, the Skipper is fitted with different ranges of sensitivity to allow testing of wood or GRP in either fresh or salt water environments.

Simply select the correct scale: Scale 1: Moisture content in hardwood for fresh water (%H20) Scale 2: Moisture in GRP (Comparative) Scale 3: Surface Moisture(Comparative)

reddot Features
line
bluedot Non-destructive detection and measurement of moisture in wooden boats, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) boat hulls, wooden parts, components, decks etc.
bluedot External rubber electrodes in direct contact with material being tested for best sensitivity, repeatability and greater depth of signal penetration.
bluedot Wide range of readings for wood of 5 to 30% on hard wood scale and 0 to 100 on comparative scale for GRP and other materials.
bluedot Large, clear, easy to read display giving meaningful readings
bluedot Automatic power cutoff switches "Off" when not in use to save Battery
bluedot Confirm if wooden boats are dry before painting or varnishing
bluedot Early detection before blistering appears
bluedot Trace deck and bulkhead leaks
bluedot Identify extent of moisture affected area
bluedot Deep signal penetration to detect elevated moisture through most covering and coating materials and deep into the core of composite hulls without having to damage or puncture the material being tested.
bluedot Hold function enables user to "freeze" the reading, useful when taking readings in awkward places where the meter face may not be visible.
bluedot Three measurement ranges optimized for testing of different materials such as hardwood, GRP and surface moisture.
bluedot High moisture audio warning tone that can be switched on or off
bluedot Identify the presence of moisture osmosis in fiberglass hulls
bluedot Check if racing boats are carrying excess moisture weight
bluedot Monitor hull during dehumidification
bluedot Check stripped areas prior to re-coating
