Hammer Electrode
Model No. :
Brand : Delmhorst
The 26-ES is a heavy-duty slide hammer electrode designed to measure moisture content at depth in dense or layered materials, overcoming the penetration limitations of standard pin meters. It uses Teflon insulated pins that register moisture only at their uninsulated tips, ensuring highly accurate, deep readings unaffected by surface moisture.
- Measures moisture content at material depth.
- Ideal for dense wood and layered construction.
- Insulated pins ensure accurate tip readings.
− Features
- Deep Penetration Capability: Fitted with No. 496 contact pins that can be driven to a depth of 181 inches into the material, enabling precise measurement of moisture gradients critical in quality control processes.
- Teflon Insulated Pins: The pins are fully insulated by Teflon except at the very tip. This technical design isolates the measurement area to the intended depth, preventing misleading readings from surface-level moisture.
- Identifies Moisture Gradients: The ability to take precise readings at various penetration levels is invaluable for professionals like dry kiln operators and wood flooring inspectors to map the full moisture distribution within a material.
- High-Density Material Testing: The robust hammer design allows technicians to effortlessly check moisture in high-density hardwoods or penetrate through sub-flooring layers where hand-held pins cannot reach.
- Interchangeable Pin Compatibility: The 26-ES can be used with alternate pin lengths (e.g., No. 1849 pins) and is compatible with any Delmhorst moisture meter, maximizing versatility across a range of applications.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand demanding commercial and industrial use, providing a reliable tool for consistent performance in woodworking, flooring, and general inspection fields.

+ FAQs
Which Delmhorst meters are compatible with the 26-ES?
The 26-ES is a passive accessory and is compatible with all Delmhorst pin-type moisture meters, including the BDX-20 and BDX-30.
What is the maximum penetration depth of the standard pins?
The 26-ES is standardly fitted with No. 496 pins that achieve a penetration depth of 181 inches.
Why are the 26-ES pins insulated?
The Teflon insulation ensures the reading is taken only at the pin tip. This prevents surface moisture or different layers of material from skewing the reading at the intended depth.
Is the 26-ES suitable for concrete or masonry?
While primarily designed for wood products and sub-floors, the 26-ES can be used in general inspection to penetrate soft masonry and concrete screeds when paired with the meter’s reference scale.
Can I replace the pins on the 26-ES?
Yes, the pins are replaceable, and the hammer electrode is also compatible with alternate Delmhorst pins, such as the No. 1849 pins, for different penetration requirements.
