Since the readings are the result of an "average" calibra-
tion, if a high degree of accuracy is required, the meter
should be checked on the specific material and corrections
determined by the user.
Meter readings indicate moisture content at room tempera-
ture of 70º F – 90ºF. Meter readings will be affected by lower
or higher temperatures. Lower temperatures cause readings
to be lower; higher temperatures cause readings to be higher
than the actual MC.
The meter tends to read the highest moisture content that is
in contact with both pins. If thick samples are not well equal-
ized, it may be necessary to make tests at different depths to
determine the degree of uniformity of moisture distribution in
the sample.
If the meter is used on stock so thin that the full length of the
pins is not entirely embedded in the thickness of the sample,
the readings tend to indicate a lower than actual MC. This
can be overcome by testing more than one sample in stacks.
