humimeter SLW textile moisture meter

with built-in sensor for determining the water content of textiles

• Easy to use
• Small, handy, precise, useable anywhere
• Fast and inexpensive textile moisture measurement
• Long-term stable
• Lifetime Support

Description

Moisture meter for determining the water content or residual moisture of textiles, fabrics, yarns, wool and many other products such as yarn spools, fabric rolls, natural fabrics, synthetic fibers, wool, cotton, viscose, polyamide and many more.
The measuring device can be used for measurements in the manufacturing process as well as for finished products.

The water content of fabrics and yarns has a major influence on tensile strength and elasticity. With the SLW moisture meter you can determine the water content within a few seconds and control and guarantee the quality of your products.

The device is also often used to check garments and textiles before packaging, for example in laundries, in order to prevent mould or odour development due to excessive moisture.

The measuring device shows the water content immediately as soon as the measuring tips touch the textile. Based on the characteristic curves stored in the device, the current water content of the selected material is shown on the display. A conversion using tables is therefore not necessary.

Advantages

• Easy to use
• Long-term stable
• Small, handy, precise, useable anywhere
• Measurement within seconds
• Fast averaging
• High accuracy due to temperature compensation
• Lifetime Support

Handling and measurement process

After switching on and selecting the appropriate calibration curve (e.g. wool, polyester, acetate, ...), insert measuring tips into the material or press measuring tips onto the surface of the fabric (for very sensitive fabrics that can be damaged by piercing with the tips). The display immediately shows the absolute humidity. By taking various measurements in different areas of the material, the average water content can be determined immediately.

The measuring principle of conductance measurement promises long-term stable and very accurate measuring results. The measuring method uses a high-frequency measuring signal which is precisely matched to the measurement of fabrics, yarn and textile fibres.

Benefit from fast and accurate measurement method and optimise your drying costs as well as servicing times by detecting eventual moisture fluctuations or moisture spots in time. The measuring values can be stored on the device, further information like batch number can be added. Via the optional USB interface the measuring values can be transferred to a PC, and via LogMemorizer ® PC software the data can be archived, exported, processed or printed out.
