Description
The Testo 606-1 Moisture Meter is a compact and reliable tool for measuring moisture content in various materials such as wood, walls, and building materials. It offers precise and easy-to-use moisture measurements and is suitable for both professionals and private users who value accuracy in their measurements.
Key Features of the Testo 606-1 Moisture Meter:
- Moisture Measurement: The meter utilizes two ram electrodes that are inserted into the material to measure its moisture content as a percentage based on the dry mass (dry weight). It provides precise and reliable moisture readings for different types of wood, walls, and building materials.
- Hold Function: The hold function allows you to freeze the last measurement on the display, making it convenient for taking notes or recording the reading. This feature ensures that the measurement is retained even after removing the electrodes from the material.
- Backlit Display: The meter features a backlit display, enabling you to use it in various lighting conditions. This ensures visibility and ease of use, even in dimly lit environments.
- Protective Cap and Belt Bag: The Testo 606-1 comes with a slip-on protective cap and a belt bag, providing safe storage and easy portability. The protective cap helps to prevent damage to the electrodes, while the belt bag allows you to keep the meter securely at hand during measurements.
Practical Application with Characteristic Curves:
The Testo 606-1 Moisture Meter includes a range of characteristic curves specifically designed for different types of wood and building materials. These curves enable precise and direct measurements of moisture content as a weight percentage.
For Wood Moisture Measurements, the characteristic curves include:
- Beech
- Spruce
- Larch
- Oak
- Pine
- Maple
For Building Material Moisture Measurements, the characteristic curves include:
- Cement screed
- Concrete
- Plaster
- Anhydrite screed

- Brickwork
Delivery Scope:
The Testo 606-1 Moisture Meter is delivered with a protective cap, belt bag, calibration certificate, and batteries. These accessories ensure the safe storage, convenience, and immediate usability of the meter.
Applications:
The Testo 606-1 Moisture Meter is useful in various applications, including:
- Determining Moisture in Wood: Measuring the moisture content in wood is crucial to assess its suitability for further processing and use. Incorrect moisture levels can lead to mechanical deformations, such as contracting and swelling, which can result in damage to furniture or supporting structures in buildings. The moisture meter helps professionals and craftsmen make informed decisions by accurately measuring the moisture content in wood.
- Checking Fuel Moisture Content: The meter is also suitable for flue gas inspectors and chimney sweeps who need to assess the moisture content in fuels such as wood or pellets. High moisture content in the fuel can lead to energy loss and wastage of resources. By measuring the moisture content, professionals can ensure efficient and optimal combustion.
The Testo 606-1 Moisture Meter provides a practical and pocket-sized solution for measuring material moisture. Its compact design, reliable measurements, and included characteristic curves make it a versatile tool for professionals working with wood, building materials, and fuel moisture content.
