humimeter BLW timber moisture meter

The water content of round wood and split logs is an essential quality criterion. This is the reason why an exact determination of water content becomes increasingly important. The humimeter BLW timber moisture meter stands out with a high measuring depth, a high measuring range and its robust design. Therefore the humimeter BLW timber moisture meter is the ideal instrument for professional billing based on the water content, e.g. for operators of biomass heating plants and suppliers resp. buyers of round timber and split logs.
Definition water content:
The water content defines the amount of water contained in the wood, related to its total weight.
Handling / measuring procedure
Choose a part of the wood WITHOUT bark, branches, pitch pockets or cracks. Switch on the humimeter BLW timber moisture meter, plug in the sensor cable into the socket and fix it with the knurled nut. Select the right wood type (calibration curve) and drive the ram electrode in the right angle to the grain into the wood. Hold the top of the electrode with one hand and push down the handhold with active force until the desired depth is reached.
The water content can immediately be read off the display and saved via the integrated datalog if required. To increase the measuring accuracy, just effect several measurements and save them. The humimeter BLW timber moisture meter automatically calculates the average of the saved measuring results.
The standard nails of the humimeter BLW timber moisture meter determine the wettest area over the entire measuring depth. Using isolated nails (article no. 11482) only the water content at the top of the nails is measured. Therefore they are used for determining the water content in a defined measuring depth.
The whole metering process of the humimeter BLW timber moisture meter is finished within a few seconds.
