Perten DA 7250 - Moisture in Wooden Boards

The document discusses using near infrared reflectance (NIR) to measure board moisture in wood panel production. It summarizes that the DA 7250 NIR analyzer can measure board moisture in only 6 seconds, providing advantages over the standard 24 hour EN 322 method. Validation testing on hundreds of samples from wood panel mills showed the DA 7250 results were highly accurate compared to the reference EN 322 method.

In only 6 seconds...
Producers of wood based panels need to control and optimize the manufacturing process.There
are also industry and official standard requirements to measure several process parameters like for
instance board moisture.The EN 312 standard requires board moisture to be measured with the
EN 322 method after each 8 hours of production. Each formaldehyde test with EN 120 also
requires determination of board moisture according to EN 322 to correct the perforator value to
6,5 % moisture.The EN 322 standard method takes 24 hours to complete.
The Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) technique is particularly suited for measurement of
moisture in board samples. Recent advances in instrumentation and calibration technology that
have enabled stable and precise measurements.

preparation required.
During these 6 seconds, a baseline is collected,
noise monitored, wavelength accuracy is standard-
ized, and a large number of full spectra are collected.

Advantages
• Short analysis time
• Automatic documentation of
results, no risk for typing errors
• Save personnel resources
• No limitation in oven capacity
• The EN 120 uncorrected value can
be moisture corrected directly after
it is measured using the DA 7250
