Delmhorst uses the USDA standard-Douglas Fir as the basis for all calibrations.
For any species other than Douglas Fir and for wood temperature out of the
range of 50°F (10°C) to 90°F (32°C) temperature and species adjustment must
be made. Correct for temperature first, then species. See temperature correction
table and species correction tables below.
The RC-1E can be used for more than just wood. It will also give a relative
reading on plywood, OSB, particleboard and MDF. Call Delmhorst at 877-
DELMHORST or e-mail
for information on how to interpret
the readings for other materials.

Moisture content values shown shaded
are only qualitative, since they are above
the fiber saturation point.
The temperature correction values shown in this chart have been rounded for
