Note: The humimeter TMT-425 shows the water content directly on the display. A
conversion to the moisture value is not necessary anymore. A factory-set
conversion to the moisture content is possible. Please contact the manufacturer
about this.

Definition water content: The water content is declared as the amount of water in
a material, which stands in relationship to the whole weight of the material. For
example: You have 1kg material with 40% water content; the material consists of
0,4kg water and 0,6kg material.

Definition material moisture: The material moisture is declared as the amount of
water in a material, which stands in relationship to the weight of the dried material.
The same example: You have 0,6kg material with 0,4kg water; the 0,6kg material
represents 100%, so the 0,4kg water will be 66,7% material moisture.
