<DIV>The little cheapies seem to run in the <U>+</U>5% RH accuracy =
range. That
is too inaccurate for drying a board (I think!). With that inaccuracy, =
if one
were shooting for a moisture content of 6.5%, the best you could do is =
to get it
somewhere between 5.8% and 7.2% moisture content. I would like to get it =
closer
to target than that. The site you gave seems to only have moisture =
meters. They
generally have a range that only extends down to 6% mc at the low end.
Instruments like these generally get somewhat inaccurate at the extremes =
of
their range. I think I will be better off using a relative humidity =
measuring
device. One with RH reading accurate to within <U>+</U>2% will get =
me to
within a mc of 6.2% to 6.8% if my target is 6.5%.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hey Del or Ron, is <U>+</U>3% mc good enough when drying a board =
down to
produce "consistent" results?</DIV>
