Description
The Hydromette BL A plus is an electronic wood moisture
measuring instrument which can be used for both resistance-based
measurements and capacitive (non-destructive) measurements.
The Hydromette has a high quality measurement amplifier and an
OLED display.
The Hydromette is suitable for precision measurements of sawn
timber (up to 180 mm thickness), chipboard and veneers.
For the resistance-based measurement, the electrical resistance of
the wood between two electrodes is measured and thus the
moisture in sawn timber, chipboard, veneers and wood fibre
materials up to a maximum thickness of 180 mm (with electrode M
18) is determined. The device has a wood type selector switch to
automatically correct measurement values for over 300 types of
wood as well as wood temperature compensation.
The ten-step wood type setting of the capacitive measuring method
is carried out in 0.1 steps as default.
The device has an LED for a visual alarm if a set limit value is
exceeded.
