Delmhorst Moisture Tester (used)
Delmhorst Moisture Reader/Tester
The BD-8 is a portable, battery operated instrument -
designed to test moisture levels in plaster and gypsum
walls, brick, concrete, wall and roof insulation through
qualitative comparative readings. It can also be used
to read moisture readings on wood, and in these cases
it reads wood moisture content directly as a percentage
of the dry weight. The BD-8 incorporates reliable semi-
conductor technology into a rugged ABS plastic case.
The primary applications are to check moisture levels of:
* walls and siding prior to painting
* concrete slabs before installing floor covering
* roof structures
* wall and other insulations
Delmhorst Moisture Test Model BD-8
The meter features two scales - one marked "WOOD"
and the other marked "PLASTER - CONCRETE" with
0- 100 markings to be used as a reference scale. When test
wood the readings made on the "WOOD" scale and they indicate
percent moisture content. The "PLASTER - CONCRETE"
reference scale is read when testing any other construction material
such as plaster, concrete, brick, insulation etc. and the readings
are to taken as a qualitative indication of the moisture level.
Readings taken at the lower end of the scale indicate a "Drier"
condition which becomes progressively more "Wet" as
readings increase toward the upper end of the scale.
