Osmosis in GRP
Osmosis, also known
as Gelcoat Blistering, is found in GRP
hulls -
when moisture soaks
into the hull surface, collects
between theglassfibre or plastic laminate,
resulting in blistering of the gelcoat.
Usually found on or
below the waterline,
Osmosis
dramatically reduces the structural
strength of the hull and the value of a boat.
The
Skipper Plus Moisture Meter
is used for:
• Early detection before
blistering appears.
• Identifying the affected
area.
• Monitoring hull during
de-humidificationand repairs.
• Checking stripped or
peeled areas for dryness prior to re-coating.
To achieve a lasting finish
and strength of wooden boats and boat parts
it is essential to ensure that they are well maintained and
do not contain excess
moisture. Excess moisture can rot and decay
the wood itself.
Moisture in Wood
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 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 30mm.
The
Skipper Plus can also be
used to detect leaks and trace them to source both above and below
decks.
NO PINS OR PROBES TO CAUSE SURFACE DAMAGE
The
Skipper Plus
operates on the
principal of non-destructive impedance
measurement.
Coplanar electrodes are
fitted on the base of the instrument from
which low frequency signals are transmitted
into the material
being tested measuring the
change in impedance caused by the presence of
moisture.
This reading is translated
by the instrument into a moisture content

HOW IT WORKS
The Skipper Plus incorporates all the
features and benefitsfound in the original Skipper such as:
•
Non-destructive detection and measurement of
moisture in Wooden boats, GRP (Glass
Reinforced Plastic) boat
hulls, wooden parts,
components, decks etc.
•
Three measurement ranges optimized for testing
ofdifferent materials such as Hardwood, GRP and Surface
moisture.
•
Deep signal penetration to detect elevated
moisturethrough most covering and coating materials and deep
into the core of composite
hulls without having todamage or puncture the material being tested.
•
External rubber electrodes in direct contact
with material
being tested for best
sensitivity, repeatability and greater depth of signal penetration.
In addition to these features the
Skipper Plus
offers the
following:
•
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.
•
Large, clear, easy to read display giving
meaningful readings.
•
Hold function enables user to "freeze" the
reading, useful
when taking readings in
awkward places where the meter face may not
be visible.
•
High Moisture Audio Warning Tone that can be
switched on or off.
•
Automatic Power Cutoff switches "Off" when not
in use to save battery.

Simply
select the correct scale:
Scale 1:
Moisture in wood in fresh water or GRP in
saltwater
Scale 2: Moisture in GRP in freshwater
Scale 3: Moisture in wood in saltwater |

Tyytyväiset käyttäjät:
Skipper:ä
käytetään:
-
havaitsemaan

-
määrittelemään

-
tarkistamaan

-
tarkistamaan

Kilpaveneen painon kontrollointi:
on tärkeää ettei kilpailtaessa kuljeteta
yhtään ylimääräistä kiloa.
Skipper-kosteusmittarilla:
-
tarkistetaan
rakenteen optimaalinen kuivuus ennen maalaamista tms.
jälkikäsittelyä ja vesillelaskua
-
voidaan etsiä
kosteutta tai vuotoja myös kansien alta tai kantavista
rakenteista
-
saadaan tehtyä
nopea mutta perusteellinen koko veneen kartoitus kuljettamalla
laitetta pitkin lankkuja, paneeleita tai muita laajoja pintoja
-
Puunkosteus:
jotta taataan maalin, lakan tai muun
jälkikäsittelyn kestävyys, on tärkeää ettei alle jää kosteutta

The
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.
|
How it works:
- The 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)

A COMPLETE KIT FOR
MOISTURE INSPECTION
THIS KIT CONTAINS:
- A non-destructive Skipper Plus.
- Professional pin type resistance meter.
Use with hand held electrode for deep probing into hull a
various other materials.
- Hand held electrode with 3" insulated
pins.
- Digital Hygrometer for Temperature,
Relative Humidity and Dew point temperature readings. Check
