HydrometteBL H 42
Description
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.

Specifications
- Handy moisture measuring meter for fast single and series measurements with high-quality measuring amplifier
- OLED display for clear and high-contrast representation of measured values. Manually selectable brightness settings enable reading even in bad lighting conditions
- Characteristic curves for wood fiber insulation materials, grouped by bulk density (kg/m³) and board production method (wet/dry)
- Characteristic curves for the wood-based materials laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and oriented strand board (OSB)
- 7-level wood species correction for more than 300 types of wood
- Manually adjustable wood temperature compensation in the range from -10 to +40 °C, which automatically adjusts the measured value to the set temperature (of the measured object)
- The following measuring modes are available:
- Individual measurement
- Average value measurement
- Batch measurement with storage of measured values
- Individual limit values can be set and an acoustic warning signal sounds if they are exceeded
- Mini-USB interface for transmitting measuring data to a PC using the free GANN Dialog Pro software or for updating the firmware of the meter
- Power supply: a 9-volt battery is included

The meaning of the icons
A filled icon = Measuring task is supported by the instrument unit - the respective accessories are included in the package.
A half filled icon = Measuring task is supported by the instrument unit - but this package does not include the respective accessories. This means you can expand the scope of use cases at any time by purchasing additional electrodes & probes.
A transparent icon = Measuring task is not supported by the instrument unit.
