wet spots in the material can still be performed.
To obtain a more accurate measuring result we recommend
measurements in a pile without air spaces between the single parts and
with a minimum thickness of 20 mm for the pile.
BASE
With material thickness < 50 mm the base material is very important.
Avoid a metal base. The best results are achieved if the material to
be measured is hold into the air. Polystyrene material with a minimum
thickness of 20 mm can also be used.
WET SURFACES
In case of material with wet surface a PVC-foil can be used between the
material and measuring springs electrodes.

When examining wood, make sure that measurements are carried out
in accordance with its fibre direction – otherwise the measured values
will be too low. The measuring direction is correct when the wood fibre
direction is parallel to the indicator.
