Hydromette BL Compact TF 3 

The selected mode changes the display of the measurement menu. 
Depending on the mode, the appropriate physical dimension is 
displayed: 

 

Measuring mode "rh" (relative humidity): 
the 

relative humidity (in %)

, the 

temperature (in °C)

 

and the 

dew point

 (in °C) are displayed. 

 

 

Measuring mode "Ah" (absolute humidity): 
the 

relative humidity (in %)

 and the 

absolute humidity 

(in g/m³ i.e. grammes of water in 1m³ of air)

 

 

Measuring mode "UGL=EMC" (equilibrium moisture 

content ): 
if wood is exposed to a constant climate (constant 
humidity and constant temperature) long enough, it 
will finally adopt a certain moisture content. Tis is 
called the equilibrium moisture content. 

 

 

Information and explanations on the individual measuring modes 
can be found in Chapter 4 "Application instructions".
