Special Features

Easy to use textile moisture meter DHT-3 for many applications and quick measurements

Digital display for direct moisture percentage reading of 10 materials (wool, rayon, cotton, hemp, jute, paper, linen, nylon, acrylic, polyester) and 10 often used material mixtures.

Scale with 0 – 100 for non stored materials; with the help of supplies comparison tables the moisture of additional 20 materials can be determined

A wide choice of needles and roller electrodes for many applications are available

Easy material selection using 2 push buttons

Optional the room temperature °C and humidity RH % can be displayed using a special probe

Textile moisture meter DHT-3 is microprocessor controlled.

Easy material selection using 2 push buttons

Room temperature °C and humidity RH % can be displayed using a special probe (optional accessory)

High accuracy and reproducibility

Standard Features

Textile moisture meter DHT-3 with compact housing supplied in leather carrying case with neck strap

Portable, battery-operated moisture meter

Test report of manufacturer free of charge, calibration report optional available

Measuring principle:
The moisture content is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity of the material, which always is proportional to the content of the moisture.
