Wood moisture detector FMW-T moisture measurement without damaging the material
We offer a moisture detector for building materials that covers all moisture measurement needs for all types of wood and building materials. This building materials moisture detector operates without causing damage to the material and is especially used to measure building walls. When choosing the appropriate building materials moisture detector, you should consider whether the surface to be measured can be damaged or if it needs to be measured without any alteration to the material. Therefore, this device is especially suitable for measuring damp walls and floors without leaving marks. Everything remains intact. Wet areas that can cause mold formation in homes are very easy to detect. You can also measure wood moisture with this device, for example in parquet floors. Its simple handling and compact design make this construction material moisture detector a highly valued tool among construction professionals, claims adjusters, and technical service.
Safe measurement in just 3 steps: Connection and zeroing Wood thickness adjustment (selection from memory) Measure and read Ajustes: - MAX value, memory or Scan mode - Introduction of specific weight of the wood of 250 ... 1100 kg/m³ at intervals of 10 kg Relative values for constant material.
Functionality / Measurement principle
The FMW T building materials moisture detector is a microprocessor-driven device for quickly determining the moisture content of wood and building materials. The FMW measures moisture content by holding the sensor located on the upper front of the device for half a second over the material to be measured. It can also measure through papers or paints. As the measuring device determines the moisture of the material simply by contact and uses a high-frequency technique, moisture measurements can be made without damaging the surface. Therefore, it is especially used for finished products or for quick checks. No matter the type of material you want to measure, you just need to place the device with its front part over woods like balsa, beech, birch, cedar, oak, pine, spruce, mahogany, lime, ... or construction materials like floating flooring.
Characteristic curves of wood and basic indications for measurement Below you can see an excerpt of the characteristic curves in the alphabetical list we present with the most important woods (stored in the wood moisture detector). We can also send you a more complete list of all types of wood.
Softwood - Abeto - Canadian spruce (east, west) - Agathis (pesada, ligera) - Alcere - Larch (European, Japanese, Russian) - Larch (American, Eastern, Western) - Cedro rojo - Douglasie (pesada, ligera) - Mañio - Pin (European, Nordic) - Pino (ligero, pesado, caribe, americano) - Pine (European, Nordic, Kern, Spint) - Pin (French) - Pino Parana - Pino Radiata - Pino Sitka - Pino Sugar - Pino Weymouth - Podo - Redwood (de California, pesada, ligera) - Sugi Attention: All characteristic curves for the types of wood in this column and the adjacent one for coniferous wood and hardwood are stored in the wood moisture detector and can be retrieved by entering the corresponding gross densities. With the shipment, you will also receive a table with all materials and woods. Please also note that: When measuring wood moisture, the measurement result is more accurate the smoother the wood surface is. The measurement value is somewhat higher when measured over chips or knots. Conversely, if measured over breaks, the moisture value is somewhat lower than the actual moisture value (absolute moisture). In both cases, further measurements should be made in nearby areas with the wood moisture detector. Measurement accuracy: Wood has a non-homogeneous composition. Therefore, fluctuations in gross density can occur when testing with the same type of wood. Multiple moisture measurements should be taken at the same location and the measurement result will be the average value calculated by the device. Wood surface: On woods with a very rough surface, the wood moisture detector shows a somewhat lower result. Fiber direction: Measuring in the direction of the fiber or against it does not affect the measurement result at all. The wood moisture detector shows the same moisture. Measurement depth: The measurement depth is 25 mm. In the case of thin woods (e.g. < 1 cm thick), it should be noted that the measurement is made through the wood (the material above the wood will also be partially measured). Therefore, it should be kept free during measurement. Measurement surface: During measurement with the wood moisture detector, the total measurement surface must be on the wood. This way, the measurement result is not falsified.

Construction materials For construction materials, there is the possibility to enter "0". This is provided in the device for construction materials in general. For this model, there is only one unit characteristic curve (average characteristic curve). This way, you can easily determine the damp areas of walls, floors, etc. This allows for a relative measurement of damp or weak areas.
