BM40 MATERIAL MOISTURE METER

 

Quick and non-destructive moisture measurement in mineral building materials and wood.

 

If you want to measure the moisture or monitor the drying process in materials such as wood or mineral building materials in a quick and, above all, non-destructive manner, the BM40 will be your reliable partner.

 

To perform a measurement, the device’s measuring electrodes are simply placed on the material to be tested.

The moisture level is then measured by capacitive sensors using the dielectric measurement method, which is absolutely non-destructive since no electrodes or probes have to be inserted into the material to be measured.

 

For an increased accuracy of the measured values, which are directly indicated in % by weight, there are correction factors available for the different types of materials.

 

The ready-to-use BM40 impresses with fast response times during measurement.

An ambient temperature measurement, the battery status indicator and the energy-saving auto-off function complete the versatile range of functions.

 

BM40 provides you with an effective, reliable and non-destructive means of locating the spread of moisture up to a depth of 5cm below the surface of any walls or floors you wish to check.

 

The BM40 is a dielectric measuring device which can quickly determine and measure the moisture content of areas below the surface of floors, walls or ceilings without so much as scratching the surface that is being tested. No pins, no electrodes, no nothing. This makes the BM40 ideal for carrying out preliminary testing to ascertain whether the time is right to perform further tests which would then provide the user with conclusive evidence.

 

In addition to these features, the BM 40 also has an auto power off and a battery testing function to ensure that you have enough power to carry out your measurements when and where you need it.
