The Ligno-Scanner SD is a dual-depth pinless moisture meter, easy to use and self-calibrating. The dual-depth meter has 2 independent sets of calibrations, one for measuring 1/4″ deep and one for measuring 3/4″ deep. Dual-depth settings are available for all wood species settings and the reference scale, an advantage over standard pinless meters, which have a fixed 3/4″ measuring depth.
This unique dual-depth pinless moisture meter adds versatility, whether you are woodworking, manufacturing furniture, installing floors, or working on a restoration job.
Dual-depth – a new approach to scanning – works well for:
- Different board thicknesses, over 3/4″ and boards thinner than 3/4″
- Floor testing at 1/4″ depth assures only the floor planks are measured and not the concrete or subfloor underneath.
- Engineered panels and floor planks, measuring the top layer and overall product
- Compare surface/core moisture to check if boards are dried evenly.
- Check surface moisture after water damage or after applying waterborne finishes.
