7.1 Temperature Error Compensation
Indicating errors due to differences in ambient temperature as nor-
mally encountered are negligible and withing the permissible toler-
ance. For extremely accurate measurements, the temperature error
may be corrected as follows:
• TEM-10 moisture meters are calibrated at 68 °F (20 °C).
When making measurements at 68 °F, the temperature error
is zero.
• When measuring below 68 °F, add 0.1% moisture to the
dial reading for every 1.8 °F (1 °C) degree below 68 °F.
• When measuring above 68 °F, deduct 0.1% moisture from
the dial reading for every 1.8 °F (1 °C) degree above 68 °F.
Measuring ranges Wool: 8 to 24.5% moisture content
Rayon: 3 to 23% moisture content
Cotton: 2 to 12% moisture content
