Functions and calibration accuracy of Lignomats moisture meters can be confirmed in a few easy steps. Calibrations are pre-programmed in the moisture meters. They do not change thanks to micro-processor technology. In addition, calibrations in Lignomat’s moisture meters are internally checked every time before a moisture reading is displayed. If the calibration needs to be […]

Pinless moisture meters only give accurate percentage moisture contents, when the readings are corrected for different wood species or for the material being measured. In addition, the measuring depth is important. Most meters are calibrated for a fixed measuring depth of ¾” deep. Dual-depth scan moisture meters are available with 2 independent sets of calibrations, […]

Oops … you made a mistake with the wood species setting while taking a lot of measurements. It happens, even though it should not. It could happen and now you are at home filling out the report for your last installation. Looking at photos and notes, you notice all moisture measurements were taken on the […]

Pinless Moisture Meters use electro-magnetic wave technology, which measures density in a three dimensional field underneath the instrument. If moisture varies within the segment, the average moisture content is indicated. Corrections are available for different wood species. Wood temperature does not affect moisture readings. Pin Moisture Meters measure the electrical resistance between two pins. If […]

During lumber drying process, whether air dry or kiln dry, a moisture meter is the most reliable means of determining moisture content. However, it can be difficult to get it right. Being able to correctly measure moisture content of stacked lumber being dried is crucial for optimized lumber quality. How can you measure the shell and core […]

For kiln drying, nobody has to enter a hot kiln. Lignomat’s in-kiln monitoring Package K-11 allows you to monitor the entire drying cycle to avoid over drying and under drying. Place probes inside a kiln, read moisture outside without opening a hot kiln. Multiple probes allow monitoring drying performance in different areas of a kiln. […]

Nobody has to enter a hot kiln. Measuring wood moisture and humidity inside a kiln, obtaining readings outside. For all types of lumber dry kilns, solar, dehumidification and conventional steam kilns. Package K2-33M includes Lignometer K, inkiln monitor and Electrode E12 for depth measurements. Measurements are obtained easily by connecting Lignometer K to the switch […]

Why the In-situ Probe Test is important Concrete slabs are an integral part of a building. Excess moisture in a slab will over time be released and can affect the entire building including in particular floor coverings. The ASTM F2170 in-situ probe test was created to accurately measure the moisture that would be released once […]

Versatility: Pin moisture meters can measure all thicknesses from veneer to lumber to logs, from wet to dry, from flat boards to round or oddly shaped pieces. Another Advantage of pin moisture meters is their ability to connect different attachments to measure where built-in pins of moisture meters cannot reach. We offer electrodes (hand probes) […]
