The Influence of the Human Factor on the Measurement Results Acquired by Using the Resistance Drilling Device RinnTech Resistograph R650-EA

Abstract

The diagnostics of wooden structures using the detection drill RINNTECH Resistograph R650-EA is one of the popular semi-destructive methods. This article deals with the issue of the influence of the human factor on the measurement results. The recommended testing direction is the radial direction, perpendicular to the grain. However, the desired direction is sometimes difficult to maintain. The experiment takes into account three different factors that may occur during the testing. The goal is to determine to what extent the human factor affects the measured results. Thanks to the conducted research, it was found that gradual tilting of the device during measurements influences the measurements most significantly.
