for 

In-Kiln

Readings  

   
 

The insulated PK-Probes are set into pre-drilled holes in the wood about 1 1/4" apart. A pulling Tool #PT is available to place the probes  correctly and to remove the probes easily. At any time the a cable can be connected to obtain moisture readings.

Given length of probe is measuring depth, dia 1/8" (3mm):

PKA: 1/2" (12.5mm) long for up to 4/4 or 5/4 lumber 

PKB: 3/4" (19.5mm) long for up to 6/4 lumber

PKC: 1" (25mm) long for up to 8/4 lumber

PKD: 1 1/2" (38mm) long for up to 16/4 lumber

PKE: 2 3/4" (70mm) long over 16/4 lumber

Pulling Tool PT

Ideal for monitoring stacks of lumber during air-drying, in predryers and kilns or during storage. 

The PK-Probe System has been popular for many years with owners of small dry kilns as an inexpensive way to reach the center of the load.
