DICKEY-JOHN MINIGAC1P Grain Moisture Tester Handheld

Dickey-John MINIGAC1P grain moisture meter is designed to determine the amount of water in a particular item. It is frequently used by woodworkers and carpenters, as wood is quite sensitive to moisture.

Working Mechanism:

• Dickey-John grain moisture meter determines whether the grain is dry or wet by measuring the resistance to the flow of electricity.
• Since water is a conductor of electricity. Hence, more the water in grain, the lower the resistance and less the water, the higher the resistance. This is then expressed into readings in percentages.

Features:

• It comes with a menu-driven operating system and has an internal scale (no pre-weighing).
• This grain moisture meter provides USB compatibility.
• It can be used for more than 450 grains and also provides automatic temperature compensation.
