Material and grain moisture meters<\/strong> make it possible to check the moisture content of samples with very different characteristics, selecting the most suitable instrument according to the type of inspection required.<\/p>\n

The range includes a material moisture meter<\/strong> for wood, construction materials, paper, cardboard, fibreglass and other compatible samples, as well as a grain moisture meter<\/strong> designed to check wheat, corn, rice, barley, seeds, legumes, flour, coffee, cocoa and other selectable granular materials.<\/p>\n

Correct moisture measurement is useful for comparing different samples, checking storage conditions, identifying changes over time and supporting quality-control activities. Each instrument features configurable LED indicators that provide an immediate visual reference against the set moisture thresholds.<\/p>\n

Material moisture meter with pin and contact measurement<\/h2>\n

The material moisture meter<\/strong> is suitable for checks on buildings, construction materials and compatible samples. It can be used, for example, on wood, paper, cardboard, masonry, plaster, sand, gravel, leather, fibreglass, stone, marble and other materials included in the available settings.<\/p>\n

The instrument allows a choice between two measurement modes: PIN<\/strong> and Contact<\/strong>. This dual option makes it possible to adapt the check to the characteristics of the sample and to the type of inspection required.<\/p>\n

The PIN mode<\/strong> uses a probe with two metal sensors inserted into the material. It is useful when a localised check is required or when moisture is believed to be unevenly distributed within the sample.<\/p>\n

The Contact mode<\/strong> uses the sensor placed against the surface. It is particularly suitable for repeated checks, for samples where pin insertion is not desired and for quick measurements at several points within the same area.<\/p>\n

The material-specific settings make it possible to adapt the reading to the characteristics of the sample. In contact mode, the selection also takes material density into account; in PIN mode, codes are available for different wood species and compatible materials.<\/p>\n

The MAX function makes it possible to recall the highest value detected during a series of measurements. The green, yellow and red LEDs provide an immediate indication of whether the value is below, within or above the set thresholds.<\/p>\n

Grain, seed and granular material moisture meter<\/h2>\n

The grain moisture meter<\/strong> is designed to check moisture in grains and granular samples. Measurement is carried out using a probe inserted into the sample, after selecting the code corresponding to the variety to be checked.<\/p>\n

Thirty-six selections are available for products including wheat, corn, rice, semolina, soybeans, barley, coffee, cocoa, linseed, sunflower seeds, lentils, sorghum, millet, flour, rye and other varieties. For some materials, separate selections are available for whole and ground samples.<\/p>\n

Selecting the variety makes it possible to set the instrument according to the sample to be measured. This is particularly important when checking moisture in grains, as different materials can respond differently to measurement.<\/p>\n

The grain moisture meter automatically compensates the measured value according to temperature. The configurable LEDs help identify samples with values below, within or above the limits defined by the operator.<\/p>\n

The Hold function keeps the maximum value detected during the check displayed. It is useful when comparing several samples or measuring points and the highest reading obtained needs to be recalled.<\/p>\n

With optional cable and software, the meter can be connected to a PC to collect measurements only while connected. The data output allows connection to software for data collection, improving traceability and reducing transcription errors in quality-control processes.<\/p>\n

Which moisture meter should you choose<\/h2>\n

The material moisture meter is suitable for checks on wood, paper, cardboard, masonry, fibreglass, leather, plaster, sand, gravel and other compatible materials. The choice between pin and contact measurement makes it possible to adapt the check to the condition of the sample.<\/p>\n

The grain moisture meter is the suitable solution for wheat, corn, rice, barley, seeds, legumes, flour, coffee, cocoa and other granular materials included in the internal selection. The insertion probe, variety selection and temperature compensation are functions dedicated to this field of use.<\/p>\n

Calibration report<\/a> available on request<\/strong>, to accompany the moisture meters with metrological documentation useful for internal checks and for monitoring their status over time.<\/p>\n

    FAQ – Material and grain moisture meters<\/h2>\n

    What does a material moisture meter measure?<\/strong>
    \nA material moisture meter makes it possible to check the percentage of moisture in compatible samples. It can be used on wood, paper, cardboard, masonry, fibreglass, sand, gravel, leather and other materials included in the instrument settings.<\/p>\n

    What does a grain moisture meter measure?<\/strong>
    \nA grain moisture meter measures moisture in grains and other compatible granular samples. It can be used for wheat, corn, rice, barley, semolina, soybeans, seeds, legumes, flour, coffee, cocoa and other selectable varieties.<\/p>\n

    What is the difference between a material moisture meter and a grain moisture meter?<\/strong>
    \nA material moisture meter offers pin and contact measurement and is intended for compatible solid samples. A grain moisture meter uses an insertion probe and settings dedicated to grain and granular-material varieties.<\/p>\n

    When should contact measurement be used?<\/strong>
    \nContact measurement is suitable when the surface of the sample needs to be checked without inserting pins into the material. It is useful for repeated checks and for measurements at several points within the same area.<\/p>\n

    When is pin measurement useful?<\/strong>
    \nPin measurement is useful when a localised check is required within the material or when non-uniform moisture distribution in the sample is suspected.<\/p>\n

    Can the material moisture meter be used on fibreglass?<\/strong>
    \nYes, fibreglass is among the materials compatible with contact mode. For a consistent measurement, it is important to select the setting most suitable for the characteristics of the sample.<\/p>\n

    How is the moisture content of wheat measured?<\/strong>
    \nThe variety corresponding to the wheat sample is selected and the insertion probe is used. The display shows the detected percentage value, while the LEDs indicate the condition in relation to the set thresholds.<\/p>\n

    Can the grain moisture meter also measure corn?<\/strong>
    \nYes, dedicated selections are available for corn, both for whole and ground samples.<\/p>\n

    Why is it necessary to select the variety code?<\/strong>
    \nSelecting the variety makes it possible to adapt the measurement to the type of grain, seed or granular material being checked.<\/p>\n

    Which granular materials can the grain moisture meter check?<\/strong>
    \nIn addition to grains, the instrument can be used on seeds, legumes, flour, coffee, cocoa and other granular materials included in the available selections.<\/p>\n

    What are the coloured LEDs used for?<\/strong>
    \nThe LEDs provide an immediate indication in relation to the set thresholds. Green indicates a value below the minimum limit, yellow an intermediate condition and red a value above the maximum limit.<\/p>\n

    Can material and grain moisture meters be connected to a PC?<\/strong>
    \nYes, with optional cable and software. Measurements can be collected only while the instrument is connected to the PC.<\/p>\n

    Is a calibration report available for moisture meters?<\/strong>
    \nYes, a calibration report is available on request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
