Measuring Range; Preservatives; Wood Species - PCE Health and Fitness FME Manual

In principle, a rough or smooth surface has
no influence on the measurement. If the
surface is wetter than the depth to be
measured, insulated measuring pins are to
be used.

2.1.8 Measuring range

FMC, FMD, FME
Wood: Measurements below 7% and above
the wood fibre saturation point are not
accurate. For a precise determination
beyond the measuring
recommend using the oven-dry method.

2.1.9 Preservatives

FMC, FMD, FME
Measurements of treated materials are, in
general, not accurate. For a precise
determination, we recommend using the
oven-dry method.

The surface should be clean, flat and
smooth for an accurate measurement. It is
possible to measure through a coating or a
so-called surface course.
Wood: Measurements above the wood fibre
saturation point are not accurate. For a
precise
range, we measuring range, we recommend using the
oven-dry method.
In general, preservatives and salt solutions
do not influence the moisture measure-
ments.
