Testo 606-2 Material Moisture Meter Overview
The Testo 606-2 measures the moisture content of various types of wood and building materials. In addition to measuring moisture like the Testo 606-1 moisture meter, the 606-2 can measure relative humidity and air temperature, and calculate the dew point and wet-bulb temperature. This means you can now measure not only the moisture content of the wood you have stored but also the relative humidity in the surrounding storage area. Armed with such valuable information, you can now easily determine whether the storage conditions are ideal or need adjustment.
Compact, practical, professional, easy to use
The compact Testo 606-2 moisture meter is designed to make work more efficient and life a lot easier. A variety of practical functions and features including a hold function which freezes the last reading; a backlit display for use in all lighting conditions; a slip-on protective cap and a belt bag which ensure that your moisture meter is stored safely and a hand strap that helps prevent your meter from being accidentally dropped all ensure that you are best equipped to carry out professional and reliable measurements.
Determining moisture in wood – Moisture Meter
- Moisture content is a decisive factor in the further processing and use of stored timber products. If wood is installed with the wrong moisture content, it may cause mechanical deformations (contracting and swelling) at the site, thereby damaging pieces of furniture or entire building support structures.
- Therefore, before being made into furniture or supporting material by a joiner/carpenter, the suitability of the wood must be assessed by measuring its moisture content.
- Checking the moisture content of fuels, e.g., firewood, is part of the daily duties of flue gas inspectors/chimney sweeps. High moisture content in the fuel results in energy loss and wasted resources.
- All Testo wood and building moisture-measuring instruments measure moisture as a percentage of the material’s dry mass (dry weight).
- The Testo 606-2 is a particularly practical, easy-to-use, pocket-sized instrument for measuring material moisture. The material moisture is displayed directly as a percentage by weight using stored material characteristic curves for wood and building materials. Characteristic curves are available for measuring wood moisture in beech, fir, larch, oak, pine and maple wood.
- The building moisture-measuring instrument uses two electrodes rammed into the wood to take a reading. In addition to material moisture, the testo 606-2 also measures humidity and air temperature. In this way, drying conditions, for example, can be assessed quickly and reliably on site.
