Equilibration, or when moisture readings in a concrete slab stabilize and stop changing, occurs when a drilled hole achieves thermal and moisture equilibrium. For the accuracy of the readings, it is necessary to wait until equilibrium is restored after drilling. In most cases, the Rapid RH® Smart Sensor will be within 3-5% of the final reading one hour after installation. Follow ASTM F2170 procedures pertaining to equilibration time. Once equilibration is achieved, future readings can be taken instantaneously with the Rapid RH® Total Reader® or Smart Reader.
