Offers the ability to quickly take measurements by pushing the pins into the material and the switch between the pins turns it on.
Wall moisture meter readings.
The bd 2100 s drywall moisture meter readings are accurate in gypsum to moisture content percentages as low as 0 2 and as high as 50.
In the wood scale the meter can detect moisture accurately over a range of 6 mc to 40 mc.
Slightly higher readings may be normal for your house but excessively high readings require immediate attention.
A moisture meter is a device designed to measure the percent of moisture content of various building materials such as roofing siding insulation drywall plaster wood tile fiberglass and concrete.
Typically this scale ranges in the 5 to 40 range.
For farmers distributors or rangers measuring moisture content goes a long way in protecting the quality of the hay and the safety of the person storing it.
Most moisture meters are calibrated to wood which provides a relatively accurate reading in wood moisture content.
When testing the moisture content in non wood materials such as concrete a relative scale of 0 to 100 is often used where 0 is bone dry and 100 is saturated.
This doesn t apply to readings from wood where the readings can be taken as quantitative as long as the levels are not very low or very high over 35 in which case just say they are very low or very high.
When the moisture content is around 30 wood reaches its fiber saturation point or fsp.
A reading of up to 17 percent is generally considered moderate moisture and acceptable.
Fill the test holes if.
Includes a simple digital led readout.
The speedy chemical moisture meter gives a quantitative reading of the total moisture content in masonry.
The dryer your drywall is the better.
Generally speaking the moisture content detection range of a hay meter is between 6 to 40 though there are some meters that go higher or lower.
A moisture profileobtained by taking lots of readings across the area is the only useful way of using these meters on plaster or masonry.
Provides readings between 6 and 45.
Moisture meters are used to measure the percentage of water in a given piece of wood and are most useful when the percentage of moisture ranges from 5 to no more than 30.
A range of 5 to 12 percent is considered optimal.
Normal readings measure between 7 and 13 percent moisture.
Readings on a moisture reader will generally range from 5 to 40 percent.
