Stormdry Gauge (Karsten Tube, Rilem Tube)

The Safeguard Europe Ltd Stormdry Gauge is a valuable tool designed to measure water penetration into masonry and identify rain penetration issues. This innovative gauge is suitable for use on various masonry materials and provides essential insights into moisture penetration pathways and wind-driven rain effects. With its durable polycarbonate construction and instructional support, it offers a practical solution for assessing and addressing dampness problems in buildings.

• Tough polycarbonate construction
• Karsten tube / rilem tube
• Reusable
• Instructional video available online

• Provides a simple method for comparing the absorption characteristics of different sections of masonry
• Aids in determining possible moisture penetration pathways through a wall suffering from rain penetration
• Useful for simulating the effect of wind-driven rain, which can cause dampness problems in buildings
• When filled to the zero mark, the pressure equates to that applied by wind-driven rain with a wind-speed of 98mph

• Comparing the absorbency of different sections of masonry (e.g. bricks, stone, mortar) to identify variations
• Assisting in the identification of possible moisture penetration pathways through walls suffering from rain penetration
• Simulating the effects of wind-driven rain to measure rain penetration potential

• Similar products from Competitor 1 offer alternative methods of measuring water penetration, but may lack the wind-driven rain simulation feature
• Competitor 2 provides products for moisture assessment, but may not have the specific wind pressure calculation feature

• The Stormdry Gauge was incredibly helpful in identifying the areas of our building that were susceptible to rain penetration. The wind-driven rain simulation provided valuable insights.
• Easy to use and highly effective in comparing masonry absorbency. The instructional video was a great resource for understanding its application.

• The Stormdry Gauge is competitively priced within the market, offering great value for the features it provides.

• Consider the specific requirements for measuring water penetration and simulating wind-driven rain to ensure the gauge aligns with your application needs.
• Evaluate the durability and reusability aspect, as the tough polycarbonate construction offers long-term usability and value.

The Safeguard Europe Ltd Stormdry Gauge is a reliable and practical solution for measuring water penetration into masonry, comparing absorbency, and simulating wind-driven rain effects. With its durable construction, essential features, and competitive pricing, it stands as an excellent choice for addressing rain penetration issues in buildings.
