The Testo 616 (0560 6160) Non-Penetration Material Moisture Meter provides you with a precise and non-destructive means of measuring moisture in wood and building materials, and of monitoring the drying process after water damage. Simply select the characteristic curve and then place the meter's measuring claw against the material's surface. The meter shows the moisture content as a weight percentage compared to the dry weight. Press the relevant key to save the reading to your meter. Although the measuring claw only comes into contact with the surface, wall or flooring, it is able to determine the moisture content of the wood or other material down to a depth of 2 inches.

Characteristic curves are available for soft wood, hard wood, pressboard, anhydrite screed, cement screed, lime sand brick, gas concrete, concrete, high insulation bricks, and brickwork. These characteristic curves were developed in cooperation with the LPI institute.

Applications

Moisture damage detection: the non-destructive method for finding moisture in walls and floors

Monitoring drying processes: from carrying out moisture inspections, to meeting building schedules, to controlled drying after water damage

Moisture in wood: for checking for moisture in wood that has been stored prior to processing
