Delmhorst Electrodes
All of the J and BD Series moisture meters come with contact pins mounted on top of the meter and a port used to connect any external electrode. The standard contact pins penetrate maximum 5/16" for stock up to 6/4, and can be used to test wood, concrete and gypsum. For other applications, consider the following external electrodes:
26-ES -The industry standard for lumber and woodworking, this electrode allows you to determine moisture gradients. The contact pins that come with the 26-ES have insulated shanks so that only the tips are exposed. The pins make contact with the wood fiber only at their uncoated tips and provide much more accurate readings of moisture content at various levels of penetration. Knowing that the board is not uniform, you can use the pins to determine the drying pattern.
Ideal for the hardwood flooring installer, furniture manufacturer and the serious craftsman, the 26-ES may be purchased as a separate option or included in one of our moisture meter packages, depending on model.
21-E - Features #608 4"insulated pins for use on EIFS, roofing and insulation or any tests where deeper penetration is required. #608/1 pins also offered in 7" lengths. Required for EIFS inspectors; widely used by roofing contractors, the 21-E may be purchased as an option or included in one of our moisture meter packages, depending on model.
2-E - Uses the same contact pins that are mounted on each meter. This electrode is great to use in hard to reach places. Ideal for the home inspector and pest control operator.
