Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document discusses the importance of monitoring moisture levels in materials, particularly in the context of heating plants and wood chip usage. It highlights the benefits of using a non-destructive moisture tester to optimize moisture content and reduce operational costs.

Key Benefits
  • Reduces failure in heating plants by ensuring optimal moisture levels.
  • Quick measurement process, taking only a few seconds.
  • Portable and easy to use on-site without sample preparation.

Moisture Measurement Types
  • Relative Equilibrium Moisture Content: Indicates the moisture level of ambient air that balances with the material, preventing absorption or release of moisture.
  • Absolute Moisture of Material: Represents the percentage of water content in a material relative to its total weight or dry mass.

Importance of Moisture Control
  • Excessive moisture can lead to mold and degradation of materials like wood chips and grain.
  • Incorrect moisture levels can cause structural issues, such as cracking in glued materials or wavy seams in leather.
  • High moisture content in biomass fuels reduces utilization efficiency.

Technical Specifications of FS_200-HT Moisture Tester
  • Measuring range: up to 30% (max. 40%).
  • Automatic temperature compensation.
  • Maximum measuring depth: 200 mm.
  • Operating temperature range: +5°C to +35°C (41°F to 95°F).
  • Power supply: 9V battery, supporting approximately 4000 measurements.
  • Dimensions: 100 x 140 x 310 mm.

Usage Instructions
  • Place the tester on wood chips and press firmly to display the absolute moisture value.
  • For more precise measurements, consider using the FS_3 Biomass moisture meter.

General information about material moisture: In the field of moisture measuring there are two kinds of moisture: Relative equilibrium moisture content and absolute moisture of material. The relative equilibrium moisture content of a material indicates the relative moisture of ambient air counterbalancing the material. In this case the material does not absorb or release any moisture. The absolute moisture of material indicates the percentage water content of a material referred to the total weight (paper, grain, ...) and with some materials (e.g. wood) referred to the dry mass. Almost all materials...
