• P100 chips: very coarse chips of wood according to class P100. Information:
P100 chips are bigger than G100 chips of wood! To avoid filling differences in
cause of these coarse chips make more measurements with one sample and
note the average!
Information: There is the possibility to add further existing calibration curves (e.g.
shredder, logging debris wood chips) to your moisture meter.
Definition of wood chips classes
The stated numbers refer to the particle size that goes through round gaps of the
corresponding diameters (e.g. P16 - 16 mm).
o P16 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 16 mm
o P45 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 45 mm
o P63 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 63 mm
o P100 minimum 80% of the bulk is between 3,15 and 100 mm
