Principle of measurement
The Bioguard measures the moisture content of the wood sample using high frequency. The exact moisture value is calculated by means of an advanced measurement technique, developed through many years of hands-on experience. The compression and automatic temperature compensation features, ensure outstanding reliability of the Bioguard for moisture management of Biofuels, wood pellets and sawdust.
Average readings
The changing nature of the wood properties when they are just cut down or during storage makes average readings a significant advantage. Freshly felled wood often has greater variability compared to wood stored for some time. Errors are frequently ±0.5% and can be bigger in very wet, very dry or freshly chopped wood.
The Bioguard can be used to quickly make several separate measurements. Four to five readings will automatically be used to calculate a reliable average value. By using average and calibration adjustment the accuracy can be better than ±0.5%, in the normal moisture range.
