Title
Standard Test Methods for Use and Calibration of Hand-Held Moisture Meters
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2008
Scope:
This test method applies to the measurement of moisture content
(MC) of solid wood products, including those containing additives
(that is, chemicals or adhesives) for laboratory standardization
and calibration of hand-held moisture meters
This test method makes no distinction between meter measurement
technologies for standardization and calibration requirements.
Provision is made for test specimen size to accommodate specific
meters. Appendix X1 provides an explanatory discussion and history
corresponding to the mandatory sections. Fundamental measurement
technologies are described in Appendix X2 when available.
Meters employing differing technologies may not provide
equivalent readings under the same conditions. When this test
method has been applied, it is assumed that the referenced meter is
acceptable unless otherwise specified. Meters shall be calibrated
with respect to MC by direct measurement as determined by Test
Methods D 4442.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
