A powerful and versatile instrument for measuring and diagnosing dampness in buildings, the P r o t i m e t e r MMS, is a v a i l a b l e from Paul N. G a r d n e r Co. The user can switch between moisture meter and h y g r o me t e r modes of operation to assess the moisture level of solid materials and air w i t h i n th e b u ilt e n v i r o n m e n t . This capability enables the user to gain a thorough u n d e r s t a n d i n g of the extent and n a t u r e of dampness-related problems in buildings.

Chemco has introduced a new materials technology for overspray collection. The product is distinctive in t h a t it uses a spun-woven material t h a t combines very high collection efficiency in the range of 99% or bet t er for a wide range of m a t e r i a l s and micron sizes with the ability to t rap particulates without excessive loading of the face of the collector. The resuit is collection performance t h a t is exceptionally even t h r o u g h o u t the media, and a collector service life t h a t is significantly longer t han traditional overspray collectors. T h e r e are 14 i n d i v i d u a l products within the new product family. Circle 404 on the reader service card AUTOMATIC

The Fischerscope MMS SR, a universal system for measuring the thickness of copper, other electroplated coatings, and paint finishes, easily meets the rigorous a s s u r a n c e d e m a n d s for highly complex PC boards. The MMS SR's modular design, ability to accept a v a r i e t y of m e a s u r i n g probes, large easy-to-read display of m e a s u r e m e n t results and statistical data, and uniform operation regardless of the application make it the ideal m e a s u r e m e n t system for PC-board quality assurance. In addition all of the test August 2001
methods incorporated in the MMS are nondestructive. With the app r o p r i a t e probe t h e m o d u l a r MMS can measure virtually all PCB applications. Circle 406 on the reader service card WEATHERING INSTRUMENT
