Measuring value wood moisture
At delivery, the humimeter GF2 indicates the
wood moisture
. This means
that no conversion from water content is necessary. On request, the device
can also determine the
water content
. This has to be effected in the factory.
Please contact
.
Wood moisture
The wood moisture defines the amount of water contained in the wood, related
to its
dry weight
.
Example: 0.6 kg wood + 0.4kg water:
0.6 kg correspond to 100%, that means that 0.4 kg water add up to a moisture
content of 66.7 %.
Water content
The water content defines the amount of water contained in the wood, related
to its
total weight
. Example with same data: 1 kg wood, 40% water content:
The wood consists of 0.4 kg water and 0.6 kg wood.

Measuring range: The minimum measuring range of the humimeter GF2 is
9% wood moisture. If the wood moisture is below 9%, the measurement may
reveal incorrect values.
Description: The measuring window of the humimeter GF2 shows the
calibration curves named in the main group. If you want to measure a wood
type not mentioned in the main group, please look for your wood type in the
sub groups of the above list and choose the corresponding main group (e.g.
if you want to measure cottonwood you have to choose the main group larch).
