Textil Moisture Meter
Schmidt DHT1 Digital Textile Moisture Meter

Special Features
- Microprocessor controlled with storage of moisture scales for a big variety of textiles
- Digital display for direct moisture percentage reading of 7 materials (wool, rayon, cotton,
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 23 materials can be determined

Digital display for direct readings
for 17 materials as well material
mixtures and 0 – 100 scale for
comparison tables

Comparison tables for 23 materials and
material mixtures
- Easy material selection using 2 push buttons
- Room temperature °C and humidity RH % can be displayed using a special probe (optional accessory)
- Easy to use for many applications
- High accuracy and reproducibility
- Portable, battery-operated moisture meter
- Test report of manufacturer free of charge
Standard Features
- A wide choice of needles and roller electrodes for many applications are available
- Compact housing supplied in leather carrying case with neck strap
The moisture content is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity of the material, which always is proportional to the content of the moisture.
