Wood Moisture Meter Digital Device

The Wood Moisture Meter Digital Device is the perfect tool to add to your toolbox! Both pros and beginners can use it with ease. For those who are still unfamiliar with moisture meters, they are devices that measure water percentages in materials. So why is it important to measure the water content of wood in the first place? Moisture content equates to the weight of waters inside a piece of wood. It means that when perfectly dry, the wood will shrink and lose that specific weight. The slightest moisture in wood materials can significantly change its strength and could affect your overall work. That’s why this wood moisture meter is a must!

Pin-Type Meter

The most common types of meters is a pin-type and a pinless one. This moisture meter is a pin-type digital device. Pin-type wood meters work by identifying the electrical resistance of electrodes in the wood. You would know that there is moisture present if it doesn’t resist electricity as much. Moisture allows power to flow more freely, and that’s why drier woods have high electrical resistance. To use it, stick the pins on its top to the material you wish to measure. You can do so for wood or paper materials.
