Moisture Testers for Wood
At PCE Instruments you will find diverse moisture testers for wood to determine absolute moisture in different wood types. With the help of the moisture testers for wood you will be able to measure with high accuracy moisture in rolled products, forestry wood, slats, beams, plywood, panels, conglomerates, main beams, window frames, etc. There are two ways of measuring moisture: with or without damaging the material. Moisture testers for wood are characteristic by the measuring principle and the moisture sensors that can be adapted to them. Some moisture testers for wood have special characteristics such as an automatic compensation of temperature. Besides, data can be stored and transferred to a PC or portable computer or characteristic curves can be programmed for specific wood types (only with the model FMD). These moisture testers for wood are many characteristic curves stored depending on the tester model (oak, beech, birch, poplar, mahogany. Our highest quality tester model has 500 easy to select characteristic curves stored to ensure its high accuracy at measuring. If you don't find the moisture testers for wood you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: UK customers +44(0) 23 809 870 30 / US customers (561) 320-9162 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments. Our engineers and technicians will be happy to help you with the moisture testers for wood, and of course, with the other products in the field of regulation and control, and scales and balances.

FME and FMD moisture testers for wood have an official certificate form the State Verification institution (MPA) in Stuttgart (Germany). As these testers have a certification which says they have passed the intensive control of materials, their high quality is ensured.FME testers for moisture in wood fulfil all the requirements to be used in moisture controls of wood pillar containments. FME moisture meters have been integrated in the MPA list (Otto-Fraf-Institut) of the most qualified moisture testers for wood.The electronic measurement of the FMD moisture testers is like the FME one. Both moisture testers of wood are different each other by the data protocol and the additional functions of the FMD moisture testers. Here you will find a description of the different measuring methods.General information about moisture content in wood: Moisture content in wood is defined as the amount of water in the wood cells in relation to its dry part. Moisture content is displayed in %.  Moisture content can affect both in technical and mechanical qualities of wood. Wood becomes more flexible with an specific moisture content and more resistant against parasite and fungal infections. When wood is totally dry (0% of moisture content) it is called anhydrous. Wood which is not exposed to direct dampening (rain or ground moisture) with time has compensation according to relative moisture and temperature. Relative moisture in a room goes from 6 to 10% while moisture content in wood (when there is not a direct exposition) can go from 8 to 16%. Extreme situations allow variations in both directions. Slice wood can have more than 100 % of moisture content. Depending on the wood type, wood under 30% of moisture content has a smaller size. When this happens all the water of the cells disappears ant it goes to the cell walls. This water becomes evaporates and the cell is contracted. This process is different when water is absorbed (change of moisture content) because of the wood size is higher. The previously mentioned moisture detectors can help you to get quick and accurate results regarding moisture content.
