Page 6: Factors Affecting Your Reading
NOTES Whenever pressure is being applied on the electrode, be sure that the points of the electrode are touching nothing but the hay. Repeat the steps above if considerable variations are found in the meter readings. To reduce these variations, chop the hay, mix it thoroughly and take several readings by following the procedures above. -
Page 7: Range Of Moisture Content
RANGE OF MOISTURE CONTENT The F-2000 is designed to test moisture in hay over a range of 6%-40%. Readings over 30% should be used only as a qualitative indication of high moisture content. Delmhorst moisture meters use the relationship existing between electrical conductivity and moisture content in hay. -
Page 8: Curing
CURING Before proper curing has taken place, wide variations in moisture content should be expected in both recently baled hay and hay in the windrow. These variations will be exposed by meter readings taken on different parts of the windrow or bale. The higher the moisture range, the wider are the variations. -
