With a pinless meter you can quickly scan a large number of boards, detect
higher moisture levels and water pockets. Pinless meters are essential when
checking finished products such as cabinet doors, table tops and ready-to-sell
furniture, where pins would leave visible marks. Ideal for building inspectors
to assess moisture conditions and water damage in buildings, especially since
Scanners can also be used for non-wood building materials such as drywall,
concrete, tile, etc.
The measuring depth of a pinless meter is crucial. Moisture readings are too
low, when the Scanner is placed on a work piece which is thinner than the
measuring depth. Scanners never measure any deeper than the measuring depth.
- Wood temperature correction is not necessary
- Bright LED display
- Hold function
- Calibrated to give true wood moisture readings in percent and have
built-in corrections for different species
Specifications:
- Measuring depth: 1/4" (7mm) & 3/4" (20mm)
- Measuring range: 5 to 99% dependent upon Species.
- Resolution of read-out: 0.1% Less accurate above Fiber Saturation Point
at 30%
- Corrections for species: 71 settings (Species Corrections for
Ligno-Scanners and Ligno-DuoTec correlate directly to the Specific Gravity.
Example: For a specific gravity of 0.57 (0.57g/cm3) set species # 57.
Specific Gravity for most wood species can be found on the Internet)
- Range of Specific Gravity: 0.3 to 1.0
