Butyl sealing tape Tramex HOODT – for Hygrohood RHIH insulated hood

Selection guide

Tramex HOODT butyl sealing tape for hood relative humidity tests to BS 8201, 8203, 5325 with Hygro-i2® probes and the Hygrohood.

The Hygrohood is used with an external Tramex relative humidity probe (e.g. RHP-SW-B) connected to Tramex CMEX5, DL-RHTX, TREMS-Xtra: this is the insulated hood method specified by BS 8201, 8203 and 5325 for screeds; HOODT butyl tape is used to seal the hood to the surface. For the in-situ test to ASTM F2170, use Hygro-i2 probes instead.

If in doubt, contact us: our technical support team will recommend the right accessory for your instrument and application.

Integration and programming

Clean the surface, seal the hood with HOODT tape, insert the probe into its housing and wait for the acclimatisation time required by the standard before reading relative humidity and temperature on the instrument or data logger.

Calibration and repair

The hood does not require calibration; periodically check the probe with the calibration salt check. Butyl tape is a consumable.
