Professional wood moisture tester METRINCO M118W (with a scanning depth of 8 mm)

The METRINCO M118W moisture tester is designed to measure the moisture content of wood in a non-destructive manner.

The moisture meter is designed to measure the moisture content of processed wood (planed board or beam, finished wood products, etc.). It has the highest measurement accuracy among our line of non-destructive wood moisture meters (in practice, the accuracy is better than 1%). It is designed to work with wood up to 8 mm thick. Suitable for measuring the moisture content of veneer and lamellas.

This model has a dielcometric method of measuring wood moisture content - the test sample is not damaged during testing. To take a measurement, simply place the device on the surface with the sensitive sensor and wait for the readings to stabilise.

Features of the Metrinco M118W:

• The moisture meter is based on the dielcometric measurement method.
• The device can determine the moisture content of wood products in the range from 0 to 40% with very high accuracy.
• For convenience, wood types are divided into 5 groups depending on their density and are presented in the selection menu in English, which greatly simplifies the operation of the device.
• The surface of the sample should be flat at the measurement point and tightly adjacent to the sensor surface. 
• Roughness of the surface and the presence of air gaps between the antenna and the sample can degrade the measurement accuracy.
