Electrode E16

The Electrode E16 is used for measuring hard building materials, concrete, brick, tile, stone, grout, etc. The single posts can be inserted easily one by one into these hard materials. In addition, the distance and direction between the two probes can be chosen to allow measuring different objects and materials.

Inspectors can add the long EL pins to extend the reach through drywall and insulation, under base boards and other hard to reach places where moisture can accumulate.

Electrode E16 can be used with:
— teflon-coated EG and EL pins
— un-coated EA, EC, EV pins

— For Lignometer K and Ligno-VersaTec add E16 with BNC-E16 cable.
— For mini-Lignos MD/C, S/DC, DX/C add E16 with mini-E16 cable.

Electrode E16 comes with 1 pair of EC pins.

Product Description

The electrode E16 is used mainly to measure hard building materials, such as concrete slabs. The electrode E16 is also used when the distance or the angle between the 2 measuring pins need to be changed.

The electrode E16 consists of two separate posts. Each post is 2″ long with a ball head. The cable is connected through a hole in the post using a 4mm banana plug. The bottom of the posts have threads for the pins. An assortment of pins is available with lengths from 3/16″ to 7″. (Pins EG, EL and EC, EA, EV)Tapping on top of the ball head with a mallet or hammer will drive pins into the material. Pre-drilling holes maybe required for deeper measurements in hard materials.

We recommend a distance of 4″ (10cm) between the pins for measuring cementitious materials including concrete. When choosing the standard distance for pin measurement of 1″ or 0.5″, measurements for dry material are sometimes higher than the range of the moisture meter. Cementitious materials have a very low resistance compared to wood and tend to give very high values.

Measurements obtained from concrete or cementitious materials are not true percent values. They only can be used as reference numbers or comparative readings. Comparative measurements become meaningful, when a dry sample piece of the material is available. Measurements can then be compared to the moisture value for dry.

Using a pin meter with the Electrode E16 gives immediate results when measuring concrete. The measurements can show areas of high and low moisture levels. However, it cannot replace the in-situ probe test or the Calcium-Chloride test which allow to determine, if a wood floor can be installed. More info on in-situ probe testing
