Moco II Wood Moisture Meter - Instant, Handheld, Portable - Non-Destructive
High frequency measurements allow the wood to be tested without the standard penetrations made by existing capacitance/conductance methods. Surfaces can be quickly tested in multiple locations without product degradation. Precious woods, finished furniture, paper reels, and musical instruments can be easily tested.
The integrated alarm easily highlights problem areas, even when you cannot see the display. Automatic temperature compensation, density adjustment, and penetration thickness selection are included.
Instant Moisture Testing without Sample Alteration!
This simple-to-use device allows the user to conduct accurate field testing of
moisture values on a variety of solid substances. Simply place the instrument on the
object to be measured and the moisture value is displayed in less than 3 seconds.
Conventional destructive tests are now obsolete!
The HM530 uses a high density coil to produce high frequency capacitance.Two
aluminum plates on the bottom of the unit generate the field. When placed on the
test sample, the changes in the dielectric constant is measured. When calibrated, this
dielectric constant is converted into a moisture value. Using pre-determined specific
gravity settings for the type of wood to be measured, the HM530 will automatically
provide moisture values. Adjustment may be made for thickness and temperature,
including an utomatic temperature correction mode.
