1. EN Operating manual Material moisture measuring device T510 DITROTEC Building moisture measurement The electric conductivity of a dry mineral construction material e g cementitious screed is very low When the building material absorbs water the conductivity of the material can quickly increase or the resistance decrease What needs to be considered for the assessment of the measure ment results is that the results are affected by the material com position of the measured goods e The presence of soluble salts can distort the measurement result substantially The more salt is present the higher will be the displayed measurement value e Yet another variable for the evaluation of the results is the connection of the electrodes with the construction material In case of mineral porous building materials slight electrode contact can cause a comparatively high contact resistance This can falsify the result of the measurement The accuracy of the measurement results is thus lower for min eral construction materials than for wood Building moisture measurements allow only qualitative conclu sions about the moisture dry damp wet Quantitative conclusions about the moisture content of the min eral material to be measured can only be drawn by applying the Darr procedure or the CM method Notes regarding the building moisture measurement e Make sure you have set the correct type of measurement build e For2. Always measure the material moisture at three different positions in order to achieve a sufficient accuracy by means of the arithmetic average Do not measure the face because there are mainly dry ar eas Preferably do not measure at cracks branches or resin pockets either Oily and or aqueous timber preservatives affect the measure ment result If possible do not measure wood with a temperature below 5 C Too low wood temperatures distort the result of the measurement Avoid static charge of the material to be measured due to friction Static charge distorts the measurement result With a wood moisture of less than 10 electrostatic forces can appear at the good to be measured This can falsify the result of the measurement Experience has shown that this occurs at the outlet of veneer drying plants Remove the stat ic charge by use of suitable grounding measures The temperature value set within the device must be identical to the wood temperature Example With a set temperature value of 20 C and a wood tempera ture of 30 C the measurement result would be distorted up wards by approx 1 5 The measurement s accuracy depends on the contact pres sure of the measuring tips The measuring tips must be con nected to the wood in a way that the contact resistance is small as compared to the measuring resistance The measurement results ought to be checked on a sample basis by means of the Darr test
