Page 12: Factors Influencing Moisture Testing
8 Factors influencing moisture testing Bale density Hay and straw bales are of different density. In practice, the bale density may usually not be determined. In addition, the density within a bale can be very different, intentionally or unintentionally. The calibration of AGRETO HFM II is designed for an average bale density. In bales with higher density a higher moisture level will tend to appear and at lower density bales a lower value will be displayed. -
