SCALE 2: SHALLOW DEPTH (%MC FOR WOOD OR
COMPARATIVE)
The Shallow Depth scale is calibrated to work in conjunc-
tion with all Scales. When using both shallow and regular
scales the user can get a comparative of moisture condi-
tions up to a depth of 10mm (0.4 inches) and moisture
conditions up to a depth of 30mm (1 1⁄4 inches).
Shallow depth scale used on wood will give a %MC at
SG 0.40, as Scale 1 does for wood. While the Shallow
Depth scale eliminates the influence of any substrate
beyond 10mm (0.4 inches), the regular depth does not
eliminate the surface coating. The regular depth Scales
3,4 & 5 gives readings from the surface to a depth of up
to 30mm (1 1⁄4 inches).
This dual-depth feature gives the user more versatility
and allows for a better understanding of moisture condi-
tions at different depths and ‘within’ / ‘within and behind’
a wide variety of materials.
