To determine both the initial and final moisture content of the wood, moisture must be measured.

Measurements may also be needed during the drying process to prevent under- or over-drying. Before unloading the kiln, moisture content should be measured at multiple locations to ensure the batch meets customer specifications.

We sell moisture meters from BES Bollmann and Delmhorst, and also offer equipment for a model using impact pins that measure moisture inside the kiln during drying.

A handy, ergonomic meter for quick checks using the built-in pins for surface measurements, e.g., along a split line, as well as a hammer electrode for standard measurements. Stores 100 readings, displays the average value and the highest reading. The JX-20 meter is suitable for most needs where there is no requirement to document the measurement results on a computer. If you want the option to communicate with an external source, such as a computer, the JX-30 model is recommended.
