Testo 616 digital materials hygrometer

Technical specifications:

It is a hygrometer that stands out from other instruments, because it allows to determine in a non-destructive way, the humidity in dry weight of construction materials such as wood, flooring and other pavements, allowing detecting damage to floors, walls, walls, basements and other surfaces, with great ease .

This instrument has memorized the characteristic curves for softwoods, hardwoods, chipboard, cement screed, anhydrite screed, concrete, solid brick, insulating brick, silico-limestone brick and aerated concrete.

It has an ergonomic design, which facilitates contact pressure and a measurement depth of up to 5 cm.


Among other features of the Testo 616 Digital Materials Hygrometer, the following can be mentioned:

- Measures the water content expressed as a percentage by weight, based on the dry mass, thanks to the use of the characteristic curves of these materials,

- It has a large illuminated digital screen,

- Allows measurements to be carried out in a very simple way, for which only the characteristic curve of the material to be evaluated must be selected on the screen and, subsequently, the measurement sheets of the equipment must be placed in contact with the corresponding material,

- It comes equipped with the Hold function, which allows you to hold the last measured value on the screen,

- It allows to measure maximum and minimum humidity values,

- It can measure humidity in a range less than 50% in wood and less than 20% in other construction materials,

- It has dimensions of 70 mm long x 58 mm wide x 234 mm high,

- Its weight is 260 grams,

- It uses a square 9 volt battery, which gives it an autonomy of up to 60 hours,

- In addition to the Testo 616 Digital Material Hygrometer, the order includes a 9 volt square battery and the equipment calibration protocol.
