A large number of boards can be scanned quickly without leaving pin holes. No effort is needed to insert pins into hard wood.
Pinless meters measure lower moisture contents in hardwoods than pin meters.
Lignomat’s unique measuring technology assures calibration accuracy, repeatability and dual-depth measurements.
A flat surface is needed. Not for round or oddly shaped pieces. Wood thickness matters. Standard pinless meters measure 3/4″ deep. Readings will be wrong for thinner materials. Meters cannot measure deeper than 3/4″. Select Lignomat’s dual-depth meters!
Why choose a Scanner from Lignomat: Lignomat’s unique measuring technology assures calibration accuracy, reliability and repeatability backed by a 2-year warranty on all meters. The Ligno-Scanner SDM has very uniques features such as calibrations to measure the moisture in bamboo.
The Ligno-Scanner SDM clearly outperforms most pinless meters on the market today. The 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 different wood species, drywall, reference scales for concrete and other building materials. The bamboo calibration settings (flat and vertical grain and strand, carbonized) are for a measuring depth of 1/4″.
The meter of choice for multi-material applications:
flooring, restoration, inspection and construction.
Dual-depth – a new approach to scanning – works well for:
– Different boards thicknesses, over 3/4″ and less than 3/4″ thick.
– Measuring layered engineered panels.
– Comparing surface / core moisture to see if boards are dried evenly.
– Floor testing at 1/4″ depth assures only the floor planks are
- measured and not the concrete or subfloor underneath.
– Checking surface moisture after water damage or after applying
- waterborne finishes.
Other Options:
- Ligno-DuoTec BW same measuring features as SDM plus RH to use as Thermo-Hygrometer or for RH concrete testing. BW Pkg.
- Ligno-VersaTec: all in one pin-pinless-RH meter. VersaTec Pkgs.
