Non-destructive moisture measurement on wood and building materials, testo 616

The moisture meter is a handy and reliable instrument for non-destructive measurement and determination of moisture in materials. The instrument measures by means of a dielectric field that penetrates materials down to a depth of between 30 and 50 mm, depending on the material. Clear measurement value changes make it easy to locate moisture damage, even through dry surface materials such as plastic mats, wallpaper, etc. testo 616 is especially suitable for moisture damage investigations where moisture is present but not visible. follow the process during a dehumidification process.

The instrument can also function as a moisture ratio meter that shows the moisture content of a material in weight percent compared to dry weight. This measurement only works on homogeneous (unmixed) materials. Ideal for moisture ratio measurement in e.g. carpentry, wood dryers, etc. To carry out this type of measurement, the instrument is calibrated against a setting table that contains a large number of different materials:

Soft wood such as spruce, larch, cherry, pine, poplar, meranti. Hardwood such as beech, oak, maple, ash, walnut, birch. Particleboard, Cement plaster, Anhydrite putty, Concrete, Solid brick, Highly insulating brick, Limestone, Aerated concrete.
