BM40 Moisture Meter
Non-destructive moisture measurement of wood and building moisture
Anyone who wants to measure moisture quickly or, above all, non-destructively in materials such as wood or mineral building materials or wants to monitor the drying process will find his reliable partner in the BM40. Simply place the measuring electrodes of the device on the material to be tested.
Moisture measurement is absolutely non-destructive via capacitive sensors using the dielectric measuring method, since no electrodes or probes need to be introduced into the material to be measured. For increased accuracy of the readings given directly in% by weight, correction factors are available for the different types of material.
The ready-to-use BM40 convinces during the measurement due to its easy handling and fast reaction times.
An ambient temperature measurement, the battery status display and the energy-saving auto-off function complete the versatile scope of performance.
Benefits in practice:
- Development, design, manufacturing: 100 % Trotec
- Fast and non-destructive measurement of moisture in mineral building materials and wood
- 10 adjustable material curves for the most important building materials and types of wood
- Incl. ambient temperature measurement
- Easy operation with just one button
- Direct measured value display in %
- Battery status display
- Automatic shutdown
- Practically optimized German industrial design – protected design
