MCS-1 Moisture Content Standard
Moisture Content Standard
Moisture Content Standard
Moisture Content Standard
Model No. :
Brand : Delmhorst
The MCS-1 is a compact, robust Moisture Content Standard accessory essential for routine verification of Delmhorst pin-type moisture meters. It allows professionals to quickly check meter calibration at two precise reference points, ensuring the instrument is providing reliable readings for quality control and critical applications.
- Checks meter function at two reference values.
- Ensures field and laboratory calibration accuracy.
- Optional NIST-traceable certificate available.
− Features
- Dual-Point Accuracy Check: Verifies the meter’s electronic functionality at two distinct and crucial wood moisture values: 12% and 22% Moisture Content (MC), covering the typical acceptable and elevated ranges.
- Universal Compatibility: Engineered for use with any Delmhorst meter that utilizes the Douglas Fir calibration scale, making it a flexible diagnostic tool across a range of wood and building moisture meters.
- NIST-Traceable Certification Option: An optional Letter of Certification is available, providing documented evidence that the standard’s values are traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), meeting strict quality audit requirements.
- Essential Calibration Verification: Serves as a vital accessory for performing periodic QC checks on measurement equipment, confirming the meter is performing within specifications before critical field measurements are taken.

+ FAQs
How often should I check my meter with the MCS-1?
It is recommended to check the meter with the MCS-1 before each use or at the start of every working day to ensure continuous accuracy and compliance.
What two moisture values does the MCS-1 check?
The standard checks the meter’s response at two critical points: 12% and 22% Wood Moisture Content (MC).
Will the MCS-1 work with non-Delmhorst meters?
The MCS-1 is calibrated specifically to match the Douglas Fir scale used in Delmhorst pin-type meters and is not guaranteed to provide accurate calibration verification for other brands.
What is the purpose of the NIST Certification?
The optional NIST-traceable certification provides official documentation that the MCS-1 standard’s values are accurate, which is necessary for audited quality control systems and laboratory compliance.
What if my meter does not read 12% or 22% when tested?
If the meter does not read within the acceptable tolerance of the standard, it indicates the meter may need recalibration or service from an authorized service center.
