Measurement technique

Why humidity measurement?

Babies like it dry, but most materials don’t. The climatic conditions in the area around a part have a considerable influence on its consistency. Hygroscopic materials like wood, veneer, paper and paperboard containers change their form and material consistency when the ambient air is too dry.

The consequences are unpleasant and cost-intensive.

As a leading company in the area of humidity control, MERLIN has been involved for years in non-destructive moisture measurement technology for the materials wood, paper, building materials and biomass.

Manual measuring devices of the MERLIN brand enjoy huge international acclaim and are exported to over 70 countries.

The product range includes innovative equipment for the end user and systems for the professional.
