\"\"It is often important to have a precise idea of how much moisture builds up in wood and other construction materials. Perhaps in order to prevent damage to the building structure, since dampness in brickwork quickly leads to mould. Building timber should also demonstrate a certain level of dryness before it can be handled. Or, for example, you might want to be sure that your firewood is dry enough. Your first choice for all of the above situations is the BM18 moisture measuring device, finally back in stock: use it to measure moisture in wood and buildings in a matter of seconds \u2013 and manage all settings with just one operating button.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Just one button for everything! Use the operating button to switch on the precise BM18 moisture measuring device<\/strong><\/a> and manage all settings. Including, for example, the selection of measuring mode for moisture in wood or buildings and the ambient temperature in \u00b0C or \u00b0F, which the device also detects. And best of all: All measurement values can be easily read from the backlit display, even in dark environments.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works<\/h3>\n

To measure moisture with the compact BM18<\/strong><\/a>, push the insertion measuring pins a few millimetres into the material to be measured. The device then gives you fast and precise results. A calibration curve is provided in the BM18 for measuring wood moisture levels of the most commonly used wood types in Europe. No further settings are required for the determination of wood moisture content.<\/p>\n

When taking measurements in dark environments, switch on the backlight by clicking the button once.\u00a0 This will automatically switch off again after 3 seconds. When not in use, the device will also automatically switch off after 30 seconds, guaranteeing a long battery life. If the battery does not have enough charge, this will be indicated in good time on the easy-to-read display.<\/p>\n

Four of the many advantages I particularly like:<\/h3>\n
