Lignomat D Ligno-Scanner – Ligno-Scanner D: 3/4″, Pinless, for Wood

The Ligno-Scanner D is a pinless moisture meter for wood with a ¾” measuring depth.

All Ligno-Scanners, a pinless moisture meter, give true wood moisture readings in percent using built-in corrections for different species. Corrections can also be programmed by entering the specific gravity between 0.3 and 1.0. The resolution is 0.1% for the entire measuring range. The HOLD function is available in all pinless meters from Lignomat. The Lignometer K incorporates the most advanced measuring technology for pin meters from Lignomat. With the widest measuring range, this meter has been used for wood and many non-wood applications.

Why choose a Ligno-Scanner D from Lignomat:

Approved by woodworkers for quality and price. → Fine Woodworking review. Unique measuring technology assures accuracy, repeatability, and reliability backed by a 2-year warranty.

When selecting the right Ligno-Scanner for your application consider measuring depth and the materials you want to measure. The measuring depth is crucial for any pinless meter.

Most pinless meters, just like the Ligno-Scanner D are calibrated for wood 3/4″ thick. The meters will not measure any deeper and if thinner boards are measured, measurements could be wrong. If you work with a variety of thicknesses, you can either stack thinner materials to a 3/4″ stack or buy one of Lignomat’s dual-depth Ligno-Scanners.

The measuring depth of a pinless meter is crucial. Moisture readings are too low when the Scanner is placed on a workpiece that is thinner than the measuring depth. Scanners never measure any deeper than the measuring depth.

The entire measuring pad has to be on a flat and smooth surface for accurate readings

Species Corrections for Ligno-Scanners and Ligno-VersaTec correlate directly to the Specific Gravity. Example: For a specific gravity of 0.57 (0.57g/cm 3 )set species # 57. Specific Gravity for most wood species can be found on the Internet. We also include a Species Chart with recommended settings. The Ligno-Scanners SDM and the Ligno-VersaTec have calibrations built-in for drywall and concrete and a reference scale for non-wood building materials. Measuring range: 5-60% dependent upon Species. For hardwoods the Scanners read lower than 5%, for softwoods, the Scanners start reading above 5%. Resolution of read-out: 0.1% Less accurate above Fiber Saturation Point at 30%.
