What Happens if I Bring a Delmhorst Meter into A Dry Kiln?
Moisture meters, like most precision instruments, are sensitive to moisture. We do not recommend taking a meter into a kiln, especially from cold surroundings. If you must, take a few minutes to warm up the meter and electrode to a maximum 100°F, so that the higher temperature and moisture levels in the kiln will not affect the meter for a few minutes. If you don’t acclimate the meter, readings will be erratic at best. While Delmhorst meters are built for the harsh mill environment, continued exposure to high heat and humidity will invite corrosion and shorten the life of a meter’s keypad, display and PC board components.
