SPECIALIST IN HEATING & DRYING SINCE 1995
LG 43 - PIN TYPE MOISTURE METER FOR WOOD, PAPER , SAWDUST & HUMIDITY
G43 is a resistance (pin-type) moisture meter which returns the moisture content
of the materials measuring their electrical resistance through two electrodes that
must be stuck into the material. It is equipped with a microprocessor circuit to
automatically compensate the readings from different materials (wood, building materials,
paper). It can be supplied with a plastic handle (/T version), for surface measurement
through conductive rubber electrodes or very thin nails, with a special hammer (/M)
to stick the electrodes in depth or with both the accessories (/TM). It is especially
suitable for measures on not dried/seasoned timber or to detect the distribution
of the moisture across the material. The measure performed using an alternate current,
assuring an optimum stability even in case of high humidity contents. The timber
moisture indication is automatically compensated on basis of the timber temperature,
which can be set manually by the operator (useful when measuring timber just out
from the kiln dryer) or measured by the instrument by its internal sensor or the
external RT/T sensor (optional). An additional, optional, sensor (SPF) is available
to measure the sawdust moisture. If equipped with the optional RH/T sensor, LG43
becomes a complete diagnostic instrument for your kiln dryer, able to measure the
air temperature and relative humidity, which can be also displayed in EMC format
(timber Equilibrium Moisture Content).
A special version of LG43 (/P), is available for parquetry layers , which includes
all the parts of /T version plus a special RH sensor (C002103) and 10 liners to measure
the moisture of concrete floor slabs according to the ASTM F2170 standard. The special
RH sensor and the liners are also available as separated accessories.
