18-ES
Model No. :
Brand : Delmhorst
The is a heavy-duty slide hammer electrode specifically engineered for deep moisture penetration in large-dimension wood products, such as utility poles, heavy timbers, and railroad ties that are inches or more in diameter or thickness. It features insulated pins that provide accurate readings solely at their deepest point.
- Designed for deep penetration in thick wood.
- Ideal for heavy timbers and utility poles.
- Insulated pins measure moisture at .
− Features
- Maximum Penetration Depth: Utilizes durable steel contact pins that achieve a 3 ¼ inch () penetration, allowing for accurate measurement of core moisture content in substantial wood sections.
- Insulated Pin Technology: The steel pins are insulated along their length, ensuring the moisture reading is taken only at the uninsulated tip. This prevents false readings from surface or shallow moisture layers.
- Heavy-Duty Slide Hammer Design: The robust construction provides the necessary force to drive the long, heavy-gauge pins into dense, deep-section wood products, facilitating efficient fieldwork.
- Application in Large Materials: Specifically recommended for use on timbers, poles, and ties exceeding inches, providing the deep-reading capability critical for monitoring wood preservation and drying quality.
- Pre-Drilling Recommendation: For maximum ease of use and to prevent pin damage in extremely hard or dense wood, pre-drilling pilot holes is advised to initiate penetration before using the slide hammer.

FAQs
What is the maximum depth the can measure?
The standard pins provide a maximum measurement depth of 3 ¼ inches into the material.
Why are the pins on this electrode insulated?
The insulation ensures that the meter only measures the moisture content at the tip of the pin, preventing superficial moisture from affecting the deep core reading.
Is pre-drilling necessary when using the ?
Pre-drilling pilot holes is highly recommended when testing extremely hard or high-density wood to protect the pins and ease penetration.
Which meters work with the ?
The is compatible with all pin-type moisture meters that accept an external electrode attachment.
Is this electrode suitable for regular lumber or flooring?
No, the is specifically designed for heavy poles and timbers (over inches thick) and would be excessive for standard lumber or flooring.
