All Ligno-Scanners, an pinless moisture meter, gives true wood moisture readings in percent using built-in corrections for different species. Corrections can also be programmed by entering the specific gravity between 0.3 and 1.0. Resolution is 0.1% for entire measuring range. HOLD function is available in all pinless meters from Lignomat.

Why choose a Ligno-Scanner D from Lignomat: Approved by woodworkers for quality and price. → Fine Woodworking review. Unique measuring technology assures accuracy, repeatability and reliability backed by a 2-year warranty.

When selecting the right Ligno-Scanner for your application consider measuring depth and the materials you want to measure. The measuring depth is crucial for any pinless meter.

Most pinless meters, just like the Ligno-Scanner D are calibrated for wood 3/4″ thick.  The meters will not measure any deeper and if thinner boards are measured, measurements could be wrong.  If you work with a variety of thicknesses, you can either stack thinner materials to a 3/4″ stack or you buy one of Lignomat’s dual-depth Ligno-Scanners.

The Scanner D has a reference scale for testing non-wood materials. Works good for Compare and Search Mode in restoration applications.
