The Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter meters, the CME5 and CMEX5, can be used to test gypsum floors to evaluate if they are dry enough for installing floor coverings. Both of them have gypsum scales for moisture measurement.
Drywall moisture readings over 0.5% Moisture Content should be considered higher than generally acceptable and require further drying or investigation and mitigation.
Moisture readings in drywall can be taken with a moisture meter that is specifically calibrated to measure the moisture content percentage (%MC) in drywall or by using the reference scale on a comparative moisture meter.
