Measuring the wood moisture
•
Split the wood log in the middle and perform
the measurement immediately after that at the
inside part of the log.
•
The electrodes should penetrate into the wood
approx. 6 mm.
ATTENTION!
Insert the electrodes only if possible without ap-
plying force.
NOTE!
Insert the electrodes diagonally to the direction of
the fibers; in other words, a line drawn between
the measurement needles would dissect the fiber
of the wood.
The wood moisture content in per cent will be
displayed.
Average value
Fig. 43: Situation of the measurement
points at the log
In general the wood moisture should be measured
at three different points (see figure on the left).
After that, the user has to calculate the average.
Please note the following points when performing
the measurement:
NOTE!
Chose a measuring point without any knobs, resin
or fissures.
•
Do not measure at the front side or at the
exterior side of the split log.
Amongst other factors, the fol-
lowing should be observed:
NOTE!
The wood to be measured should have a temper-
ature between 0°C to 30 °C.
