New product: Wood moisture meter! Easy to use with one hand. Does not leave marks on the wood. Certified by the Japan Housing and Wood Technology Center. *Demo units are also available.
The HM-540 uses a high-frequency capacitance measurement method, allowing for measurements to be taken simply by lightly pressing it against the surface of the wood without causing any damage. It takes a considerable amount of time for construction-grade softwood lumber to dry thoroughly to its core. Judging solely by the surface dryness can lead to various issues, such as warping and discrepancies in finishing dimensions. In such cases, a wood moisture meter that can measure the average moisture content throughout the wood is necessary. Furthermore, when dealing with high-quality dried wood for furniture or musical instruments, where surface damage is to be avoided, this measurement method is extremely effective, especially when measuring low-moisture wood. 【Features】 - Measurement can be taken simply by lightly pressing against the material - Certified model by the Japan Housing and Wood Technology Center - Compact and lightweight handheld type - Moisture correction function - Measurement result hold function - LCD screen with backlight - Measurement data storage, statistical calculation function, and optional transfer of measurement data to a PC *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us. *Demo units are available.

basic information
【Features】 It is a compact and lightweight handheld type. Operation is simple: just set the correction dials for wood species, specific gravity, thickness, and temperature in advance, and press it against the surface of the wood. The built-in microcontroller automatically performs correction calculations and computes the moisture value. With a measurement range of 2 to 150%, it can be used for moisture measurement of various types of wood. Additionally, it is equipped with an alarm setting function that sounds a buzzer when measuring wood with moisture content above the set level, making it suitable for sorting by moisture standards and finishing inspections. Furthermore, the HM-540 has passed evaluation tests by the Japan Housing and Wood Technology Center, earning high trust.

Company information
Measuring instruments help to clearly understand the exact size, scale, condition, and properties of things that we want to know but cannot ascertain. For example, they can measure the microscopic world that is beyond human perception or determine the composition of formless substances. They capture the target accurately and instantly, presenting the information we want to confirm in an easy-to-understand manner. This is essential for maintaining and managing quality, improving safety and economic efficiency, and conducting fair transactions. Measuring instruments perform a crucial role as indispensable tools in any situation where accuracy is required. Many products are adopted as standard measuring instruments in Japan and are useful in various fields. We consider measuring instruments to be an extension of our five senses and continue to provide reliable answers in the form of products, addressing the theme of measurement one by one.
