Page 7: Factors Affecting Your Reading
The F-2000 is designed to test moisture in hay over a range of 8%-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. - Page 9 Testing Hops – set meter to scale no 2 The F-2000 enables you to easily check moisture levels in baled hops to assure quality and safe storage. When measuring moisture content, keep in mind the average moisture content is not necessarily a true indication of the safety for storage, as a few wet spots in the hops can cause considerable damage.
