SUMMARY OF ALL METERS

      Pinless versus Pin Meters 




Pinless Meters use electro-magnetic wave technology which measures density in a 3-dimensionaI field underneath the instrument. If moisture varies within the segment, the meter cannot indicate the changes. Settings are available for correction of different wood species. Not affected by wood temperature. 

`

Pin Meters measure the 

electrical resistance . If moisture varies within the small measuring area, the highest value is indicated. Correction settings 
are available for wood species 

and temperature.

>Scans large areas quickly and

   is a good indicator for water

   pockets and higher moisture

   levels across the board.

>Leaves no pin holes.

>Indicates average moisture in

  3-dimensional field. Cannot 

  show differences between

  surface and core moisture.

>Requires a smooth surface and 

  a flat measuring area.

>Select Ligno-Scanner with the

  appropriate measuring depth.

  We offer: Measuring depths of

  1/64", 1/4", 3/4", 1 1/4" and

  Ligno-Scanner SD with dual

  measuring depth 1/4" and 3/4".

>Gives precise readings and is 
  a good indicator for evenly or 
  unevenly dried wood.
>Leaves two pin holes.
>Indicates highest moisture in 
  area between pins. Can 
  measure differences between 
  core and surface moisture  
  by using insulated pins which 
  measure only at the depth 
  they are driven to.
>Not affected by surface texture
  or shape, as long as both pins 
  can be inserted.

>Measuring depth up to 7" with 
  #EL pins, can be extended by 
  remote cables and probes.
