How It Works

PMT-330 utilizes radio frequency dielectric measurements (RF) to penetrate and analyze the full moisture composition of product. It is an alternative moisture measurement to near infrared (NIR) technology, which measures the surface of product without penetrating. This article explains the key differences between NIR and RF.

The PMT-330 is designed for ease of use and fast analysis for at-line control of moisture content.

  1. Hold the sensor upright in the air to “zero” the unit, which calibrates the device to the air humidity and temperature of the local environment
  2. Select from 1 of 10 “Product Codes” from the device, which are pre-programmed calibrations of the material you are measuring.
  3. Press the sensor firmly onto a single board and press a button to execute your moisture measurement. Within seconds, an accurate moisture reading will appear on the display screen.

Configurations for Board Thicknesses

The PMT-330 is available in two options to accurately measure moisture of different board thicknesses,

PMT-330G: Effective penetration depth of approximately 20mm (0.75”), ideal for gypsum and other board applications

PMT-330V: Effective penetration depth of approximately 3mm (0.125”), ideal for veneer and thin sheet applications.

Advanced RF Technology in the Palm of Your Hand

The PMT-330 PortableMoisture Tester is based on the same technology and principles used in our state-of-the-art online RF sensors. Using radio frequency dielectric measurement, the PMT penetrates the material and instantly displays an accurate moisture measurement.

Portable moisture testers satisfy a variety of needs across the spectrum of manufacturing industries. Whether measuring gypsum, cement, or wood board products, the PMT-330 gives you easy, fast, accurate and, repeatable moisture measurements in a lightweight hand-held device.

PMT-330 Options

PMT-330G: With an effective penetration depth of approximately ¾ inch (20mm) the PMT-330G is designed for gypsum and other board applications.

PMT-330V: With an effective penetration depth of approximately ⅛ inch (3mm) the PMT-330V is designed for veneer and thin sheet applications.
