HYDROMETTE ® BL H 42

The Hydromette® BL H 42 is a resistance-based measuring device for determining the moisture content in wood, especially in wood-based materials and wood fiber insulation materials.

In cooperation with well-known manufacturers and associations, characteristic curves have been created for a wide range of insulation materials in order to be able to display the moisture content (in weight %) directly. These curves are grouped according to gross density and board manufacturing process.

The Hydromette can be used to carry out control measurements, e.g. on a facade before plastering, to ensure that subsequent moisture damage such as detachment of the plaster layer or lignin exudation, is avoided.

In addition, the BL H 42 enables precise measurements of sawn timber (up to 180 mm in thickness), chipboards, and veneers before and after processing.

Furthermore, the meter meets the requirements of EN 14080:2013 and EN 15497:2014 for the wood species spruce, pine, Eurepean larch and

Douglas fir (certified by MPA Stuttgart).

The measuring device is particularly suitable for all professionals who process or assess wood-based materials and wood fiber insulation materials, but also joineries, parquet installers and painters.

The new characteristic curves are based on products by these manufacturers.

CH 17

The Hydromette ® CH 17 is a multifunctional measuring instrument for measuring wood moisture, building moisture and air humidity as well as temperature and air velocity. The robust touch display in combination with modern evaluation and storage possibilities enables a completely new variety of options.

In the field of wood moisture measurement, different resistance measurement electrodes are used depending on the thickness and texture of the wood. Thus precision measurements of sawn timber (up to 180 mm thickness), chipboard and OSB boards, veneers, wood chips and similar bulk materials are possible. The automatic temperature compensation corrects measured values depending on the wood temperature.

The capacitive measuring method is used for the non-destructive moisture measurement of building materials (e.g. screeds, mortars, plasters, concrete, bricks, thermal insulating materials). This time-saving application method

is ideal for detecting leaks or for monitoring drying processes in new buildings or during renovation work.

Special resistance measurement electrodes are available for the creation of exact moisture profiles and for depth measurements in building materials for the various application purposes.

Humidity and air temperature are measured by RF-T and RH-T series probes that are equipped with high quality sensors.In addition to air temperature, surface temperatures (based on Pt100 or infrared) and material temperatures (also based on Pt100) can be measured.

ABOUT MEASURING ACCURACY

Assessing the accuracy of a meter or of a measuring process requires considerable knowledge and expertise. The following description and information is to assist you as the user in practice. It is intended to help you to better get through the maze of terms and to better assess your measurements. For this, it is necessary to subdivide the term of “accuracy” into the individual portions.

The accuracy/precision of the measurement essentially depends on the following elements:

n MEASURING CIRCUIT/BOARD AND COMPONENTS USED

The quality design of the electrical circuit and the board layout are some of the most important prerequisites to achieve the highest possible basic accuracy.

Shielding against external impact (electrostatics, radio-frequency irradiation etc) as well as a reliable temperature compensation are indispensable requirements.

High-quality and narrow-tolerance components are indispensable as well, e.g. an A/D converter (for converting analogue to digital signals) having 16 bit resolution is 256 times better than a comparable 8 bit resolution A/D converter.

n BASIC ACCURACY OF THE METER

It is based on the circuit, precision of the components used as well as on the exact calibration/ adjustment to one fixed value or several values of a calibration curve.

For given % values (e.g. ±2%), it is important to know whether these refer to the currently shown value or to the upper value of the measur-

ing range.

The term “digit(s)” refers to a so-called “numerical step” (digital scale divisions) of a digital display.

For analogue gauges (pointer devices), the accuracy is commonly identified by “classes” (e.g. class 1 or class 1.6).

n RESOLUTION OF THE ANALOGUE/DIGITAL

DISPLAY

The term “resolution” is often mixed up with accuracy or used as a synonym. This is wrong. High resolution does not automatically result in high accuracy.

The term “resolution” that refers to an analogue or digital display only describes the number of readable digits (e.g. 000.00 = 5 digits) or more often the number of decimal places, commonly referred to as “reading accuracy”. In this context, resolution is described using values (1 or 0.1 or 0.01) or digits (referring to the least significant digit).

n REFERENCE/CALIBRATION STANDARD

In Germany, the supreme authority for calibration standards is the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Brunswick. The PTB calibrates “standards” which are used by the DKD (Deutscher Kalibrierdienst) for calibrating meters and standards for factory calibrations. These in turn are used by the meter manufacturers for calibrating their units.

Such calibration standards/meters exist for the meters designed and manufactured by us for temperature measurement (for both mechanical sensors and for the units using infrared surface temperature measurement, also referred to as “pyrometers”) and for air humidity measurement.

Thus, fixed specifications exist for these two application ranges, which means that the accuracy is therefore based on the grade of the sensors used and their exact adjustment.

For wood moisture measurement, there are no standard or other values specified by an officially recognised institution (exception: the calibration curve, based on the DIN 1052 standard, for spruce wood specified by the Materials Testing Institute of the University of Stuttgart (MPA Stuttgart, Otto-Graf-Institut) for the recognised glued laminated timber industry.

This also applies to measuring set building materials and a number of bulk materials (exception: certain types of grain, as far as these are commercially used for accounting purposes).

The term of “gauging” is actually reserved for the Gauging Office. “Gauging” refers to the calibration procedure performed by the Gauging Office. Basically, this only refers to equipment that is used for trading purposes, e.g. scales.

The calibration curves for the individual types of wood or building and insulating materials are created by reliable equipment manufacturers themselves. These curves are created using a complex procedure involving numerous series of measurement for each type of wood or each building or insulating material, based on the oven-dry test procedure. The calibration curves created that way are business secrets of a manufacturer.

SENSORS FOR MEASURING TEMPERATURE

Temperatures are measured using a large variety

A

of sensors. For measurement equipment of higher quality, temperature measurement of gas/air, liquids, bulk materials, and solids using platinum measuring resistors (e.g. Pt100 in 4-wire technology) has gained precedence. Of course, there are also different classes of accuracy (refer to graphic A).

More information on accuracy of Pt sensors is found on the web. For achieving acceptable measuring accuracy, at least class B sensors are required to be used.

For measuring surface temperatures on objects having high heat content and good thermal conductivity, also thermocouple sensors (cross- or dual-band sensors) are used. However, their accuracy in the range that is relevant to dew point measurements is not always sufficient.

All mechanical temperature sensors (contact thermometers) are reasonably used only in cases where the media to be measured have sufficiently high heat content and corresponding good ther-

mal conductivity.

Insulating materials consisting of foamed plastics, wood or wooden materials, compound materials having different thermal conductivity (e.g. bonded wallpapers etc.) or materials having a rough or uneven surface, moving, or vibrating parts either cannot be measured using mechanical sensors, or the accuracy achieved is not sufficient. For this purpose, infrared surface temperature measuring equipment providing good sensor accuracy is available today. Our equipment that is used in the classic application of climate monitoring in residential or business rooms includes such sensors. In particular, this applies to the assessment of damage caused by humidity (e.g. mould formation (fungal growth) by undershooting the dew point temperature). An accuracy of ±0.5 °C is very important for determining the dew point on wall surfaces (refer to graphic B). The higher the inaccuracy in this range, the higher the inaccuracy span for establishing the dew point undershoot

temperature. Furthermore, entering the correct emissivity for the surface material to be measured is of high importance.

SENSORS FOR MEASURING AIR RELATIVE HUMIDITY

Accuracy and long-term stability of the sensors for gathering relative air humidity have been significantly improved within recent years. This is also true for measurements in contaminated air where the sensors have to be protected by appropriate filter systems. Sometimes, filters significantly extend response times, which contributes to inducing measuring errors if values are read too early. Also, adapting the temperature of the sensor to the ambient/air temperature is very important. Measuring systems of higher quality (e.g. for surveyors) have a typical accuracy of ±1.8% R.H and ±0.3 °C temperature (or better) (refer to graphic C).

ABOUT MEASURING ACCURACY

To maintain this precision, such equipment should be checked for accuracy at the manufacturer or by an appropriate calibration laboratory every 12 to 24 months, depending on its application purpose and frequency.

When air humidity sensors are used for determining humidity by means of sorption isotherms in solids (e.g. concrete, screed, brickwork, etc), the sensor or the sensor assembly must have sufficient accuracy even when used to measure air humidity values of 95% R.H.

SENSORS FOR MEASURING WOOD M OISTURE

Precise wood moisture measurements are mostly based on the resistance measuring technique. For measuring, two steel pins are pushed or tapped into the wood to be measured. For our meters, the pins should be driven in perpendicularly to the fibre direction. Particularly for wet wood, this heavily affects accuracy.

Another aspect that concerns accuracy, is setting/ entering/selecting the correct type of wood. Implementation of this aspect depends on the respective

equipment manufacturer.

Medium-class equipment should have 4 or 7 wood species correction levels – high-class equipment should provide at least 75 options for wood species correction levels, if not even individual code numbers for each type of wood (from 250 numbers on). In the dry range, accuracy values of ±0.5% can be obtained.

For the different wood thicknesses, pins of 16, 23, 40, or 60 mm in length are available. For accurate measurement, these are to be driven in up to a third of the entire wood thickness. Moreover, Teflon insulated pins of 45 or 60 mm in length are available. Using these pins, individual layers or wood surfaces wetted by rain or dew can reliably be measured. Another popular option is measuring wood moisture using a capacitive sensor. These units are also referred to as put-on units. Most of them have area or spring sensors. Area sensors require a relatively large and in any case plane contact area (planed surface). This also applies to units having wide spring structures. Compared to these, the ball-shaped sensor used in our units has application benefits. With regard to accuracy, larger measured value deviations are to be expected from put-on units. Wood

types such as beech whose moisture is evenly distributed between surface and core and which have no branches or spiral growth and have a constant volume weight (specific gravity, gross density), can be measured very well and quickly. Pieces of wood showing heavily varying gross density, different wood thickness, or irregularly distributed humidity can be measured with sufficient accuracy only when using additional tools. When you consider purchasing a put-on unit we recommend consulting our experts.

SENSORS FOR MEASURING STRUCTUR AL MOISTURE (SET BUILDING MATERIALS)

RESISTANCE/CONDUCTIVITY MEASURING T ECHNIQUE

This value is measured using two steel pins, pipe probes (using contact paste), or brush probes. For the designs that are adapted to the different measuring tasks, please refer to our catalogue. Optimum contact between sensor and material is crucial to obtain high reproducibility.

Here, a general statement on accuracy of weight or mass percentage is hardly possible. Unmixed

building materials with the latest calibration curves can be measured with good accuracy as opposed to mixed brickwork. But exact percentage values are often not necessary, and so-called comparative measurements are absolutely sufficient.

CAPACITIVE RADIO FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT

The so-called “ball probe” invented by us is a sensor for detecting moisture in many different materials (e.g. damage caused by moisture in rooms and buildings, mobile homes, caravans, boats, concrete, or plastics as well as in many other solids). Also, unmixed building materials having the latest calibration curves can be measured with good accuracy using this measuring technique. However, the accuracy obtained is less when measuring mixed brickwork or layered compounds consisting of different materials. As mentioned before, exact percentage values are often not necessary, and so-called comparative measurements are absolutely sufficient.

MEASURING THE RELATIVE AIR HUMIDITY IN HOLE

For this purpose, high-quality air humidity sensors suited for high humidity values must be used to determine moisture in solids (e.g. concrete, screed, brickwork). For measuring, the sensor is inserted into a prepared hole. The sensors should have good long-term stability in high air humidity (80 to 95% R.H.) as well as ±3% accuracy or better. The air humidity values are converted into weight percentage values for building materials using sorption isotherms either by means of automatic processorsupported conversion within the units or using tables provided in the operating manual.

CALCIUM CARBIDE METHOD

The humidity content of screeds is determined by means of a CM unit using a mechanical-chemical process. Accuracy essentially depends on correct sampling (across the entire cross-section, low humidity loss during sample preparation) and tightness of the pressure system.

n P ROPER MEASUREMENTS

The headline already tells what is meant. An “ideal” unit should be self-explaining, self-learning and work as independently as possible. Our Hydromette ® units have been designed and engineered following these considerations. However, there will always be situations in which you will have to look into the operating instructions. Reading the operating instructions is one of the less pleasant and time-consuming things. But you will find that many problems will virtually settle on their own. Even if you have never worked with one of our units, reading the instructions that contain many tips on the particular topic and performing a small trial session will enable you to carry out your measuring task like a professional. Your knowledge, your eyes, your technical skills, and our meters are parts of a successful top team.

It might be quite embarrassing “to be eaten up” by the lawyer of the opposing side, when the surveyor reads the instructions to you, or to be made to pay up for a damage, although you have the best meter on hand. You will find a lot of sticking points in connection with moisture measurement which you have not taken into account and which could have easily and quickly been avoided by means of properly performed measurement. Spare the second visit on site, the faulty survey

report, the damage that could have been avoided in most cases.

We are here for you – when there are problems with moisture measurement or when you have no answer to your question, irrespective of the comprehensive operating instructions.

MEASURED VALUE ASSESSMENT

Professional assessment of the measured value indicated is the task of the expert – e.g. the decision on whether the 95 digits measured are still sufficient or too much considering a specified value of 90 digits. To assess e.g. an air humidity measured value, it is important to know whether the measurement was made in the more humid northern area or in the Alps region that is more dry and in which season it was made. Or whether the measurement was made in a humid vaulted cellar or in the hobby room of a newly erected building. Are there many flowers or hydroponics with fountains in the living room? All these and other factors have an impact on the “natural” humidity in the household. And in the end, only you as the expert can assess these different conditions. Similarly, this applies to structural moisture and to the moisture of other materials. In addition to the tips in our operating instructions, you may find other tips given by the manufacturer of the material or on the web, or you may consult our expert consultants.

We are your competent partner.
