  • Page 10: Factors Affecting Your Reading

    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.

The higher the temperature of the sample, the higher the meter readings will be.
