Description
The Testo 606-2 (0560 6062) Material Moisture Meter measures the moisture content of different types of wood and building materials. It can measure moisture as well as relative humidity and air temperature, and also calculate the dew point and wet bulb temperature. This means that users can measure the moisture content of stored wood and the relative humidity in the surrounding storage area. Armed with such valuable information, users can now easily determine whether the storage conditions are ideal, or whether they need to be adjusted.
The 606-2 moisture meter is designed to make work more efficient and life easier. It has a variety of practical features, including a hold function, which freezes the last reading, a backlit display for use in all lighting conditions, a slip-on protective cap, and a belt bag, which ensure that your moisture meter is stored safely, and a hand strap that helps prevent your meter from being accidentally dropped.
Characteristic Curves for Precise Measurements in Wood and Building Materials
The Testo 606-2 Material Moisture Meter measures the moisture in wood and building materials via the two ram electrodes. The characteristic curves allow the moisture content to be displayed directly as a weight percentage based on the dry mass (dry weight). The following characteristic curves are stored in the meter:
- for precise moisture measurements in beech, spruce, larch, oak, pine, maple
- for detecting moisture and wet places in building materials like cement screed, concrete, plaster, anhydrite screed, cement mortar, limestone mortar, and brickwork
Application: Determining Moisture in Wood
Moisture content is a decisive factor in the further processing and use of stored timber products. If wood is installed with the wrong moisture content this may result in mechanical deformations (contracting and swelling) at the site where the material is subsequently used, and therefore damage to pieces of furniture or entire supporting structures in buildings. Therefore, before being made into furniture or supporting material by a craftsman, the suitability of the wood has to be assessed by measuring the moisture content.
Checking the moisture content of fuels, e.g. wood or pellets, is part of the daily duties performed by flue gas inspectors/chimney sweeps. A high moisture content in the fuel means energy loss and a waste of resources.
The Testo 606-2 Material Moisture Meter measures the moisture in percentage weight compared to the dry mass (dry weight) of the material.
The measuring methods also include the option of measuring resistance by means of the electrical conductivity of the material or the magnetic flux leakage method, which measures using the electrical field in the material.
The Testo 606-2 Moisture Meter is a particularly practical and easy to use material moisture measuring instrument in pocket size. The material moisture is displayed directly in percentage weight by means of stored material characteristic curves for wood and building materials. Characteristic curves are available for measuring wood moisture in beech, fir, larch, oak, pine and maple wood.
The building moisture measuring instrument uses two electrodes rammed into the wood for its reading. In addition to material moisture, the testo 606-2 also measures humidity and air temperature. In this way, drying conditions, for example, can be assessed on site quickly and reliably.
