The Ligno-Meter K is a multi-purpose meter to measure, evaluate and monitor the moisture in wood, sheetrock, and many other building materials. The Ligno-Meter K is loaded with features to make your job easier: pin mode with temperature adjustment for kiln drying. From timber processing to furniture making to construction and restoration this meter will service all your needs.

The meter offers individual settings for:

• Lumber, bamboo, composite wood products, and engineered products concrete
• Gypsum and sheetrock
• Individual reference scales for materials similar to wood, vinyl, textile, concrete, drywall, and other building materials such as ceiling tiles, ceramic tiles,

The Lignometer K incorporates the most advanced measuring technology for pin meters from Lignomat. With the widest measuring range, this meter has been used for wood and many non-wood applications.

The wide measuring range allows measuring lumber when it first arrives at the mill, during the kiln drying process, until the final check when the finished product is shipped off to the customer. If the lumber is hot or cold built-in corrections will compensate for different wood temperatures. Ideal for in-kiln readings with PK Probes and Cables. A meter you can trust.

A wide measuring range is also needed for construction, inspection, and restoration applications for evaluating water-damaged materials. The meter indicates small changes in moisture content over its entire measuring range up to 7″ deep. That makes it easy to accurately pinpoint questionable areas, where too much moisture has been absorbed.

Applications

Measuring moisture throughout all manufacturing steps from green lumber to the ready-to-ship product. For wood floors and for restoration applications, where accuracy counts. A wide measuring range makes meter suited for non-wood applications.

For the floor installer:

Throughout the installation process, a floor installer should use a moisture meter. First, when the floor is delivered, make sure the floor is dry. Next, before and after acclimation, make sure the floor is acclimated to the ambient conditions at the place of installation. It is best to mark selected sample boards and take readings throughout the acclimation process until the moisture content of the wood matches the relative humidity (See EMC chart below.) After the installation is finished and the customer is ready to sign off on the floor, the moisture condition of the floor should be documented. Select several moisture-sensitive areas. Take readings on both depth levels and note the readings with species setting, measuring depth and location where the readings were taken. Maybe even take a photo to pinpoint the location. If you ever have to go back to check out a complaint, you can measure the same areas again and compare them with the original readings. Keeping track of moisture conditions may in the end protect you from unwarranted claims and help find the source of the problem. The dual-depth readings may indicate if moisture was absorbed from the downside of the floor or from the up-side of the floor.

Capturing and analyzing rare anomalies in electric signals is a typical use case when debugging electronic systems. With an acquisition rate of up to 50 000 waveforms per second – more than 1000 times faster than conventional handheld oscilloscopes – the R&S®Scope Rider sees signals other scopes miss. Rare faults in signals can be reliably captured and analyzed.

In history mode, the instrument automatically stores up to 5000 waveforms in a separate history buffer. At any point in time, acquisition can be stopped and any waveform in the history buffer can be analyzed using the full oscilloscope functionality. One-time anomalies that would have been missed by a conventional handheld oscilloscope can now be analyzed in detail.
