Information about the device
Device description
The device BM40 is suited for the non-destructive material
moisture measurement in mineral building materials and wood.
The measuring probe is pressed against the material to be
tested. The moisture level is then measured by capacitive
sensors using the dielectric measurement method, which is
absolutely non-destructive since no electrodes or probes have
to be inserted into the material.
For an increased accuracy of the measured values, which are
directly indicated in % by weight, there are 10selectable
material curves available for the most important types of wood
and building materials.
The device further features the following functions:
• Real-time measurement value display
• Temperature measurement
• Automatic switch-off
