Anyone have a species conversion chart for moisture meters?
I have a Pin type meter from a Company called Electrophysics. They won’t give me a chart. Through e-mail they made it clear that they suspected my motives since they didn’t have me on record as having purchased one. (Hmmmm the shady and sordid world of pin type moisture meters…)

I can't help with the species coversion chart since the one for my Delmhorst went missing some time ago but I'd like to point out that there's also an adjustment to the moisture reading that needs to be made according to the ambient temperature.

I know that moiture meters don't work in the cold because frozen water is different than regular water. So do you know what the temperature adjustments are? If I get any info I'll forward it on the forum.

There isn't a chart with the Delmhorst -- the temperature/moisture content adjustment is worked out on a natty slide-rule thingy that came with the tester -- at 40F, for example, if the reading is 16%, the actual moisture content is 19%
