Product Information

In this section, we will explain how to use a moisture meter. We will break down the various steps involved in using one. How you should use a moisture meter will vary depending on what type of surface you’re trying to measure the moisture from and what type of moisture meter you are using. Our IntelliSense™ technology greatly reduces this problem. IntelliSense allows our moisture meters to minimize the effect of slight amounts of moisture on the surface of the wood. In other words, our meters read the moisture in the wood, not on the wood as other moisture meters do. What is Relative Measurement Mode Used For? The range of measurement a moisture meter offers is determined by the minimum and maximum moisture percentages it can read. The broader the range of measurement, the less precisely the device will measure, with some moisture meters offering as wide a range as 0.2 to 60 percent.

Because a pinless moisture meter measures from the surface of the wood, any standing water on the surface would skew the measurement. Pinless meter buying guide For this reason, the Valiant Firewood Moisture Meter is the best moisture meter for displaying accurate moisture levels in different tree species. It can be used to measure moisture in firewood and timber, including flooring, beams and joists.When the caravan or motorhome is in storage and not in use, a humidity reading over 50% may indicate a damp issue. This product includes a hold function. It also comes with an auto shut down feature. It has a 1.7-inch LCD display. This meter has a measuring range of 0% to 99.9%. It is powered by a single 9-volt battery which is not included. Pros We will now look at an all-in-one device. This moisture meter type is designed to combine the benefits of the two aforementioned devices and sometimes a thermo-hygrometer too. This device is particularly good for measuring moisture levels in wood, but it is also a superior concrete moisture meter. It is small, ergonomic and lightweight at just 141g.

This moisture meter is another pin-based meter which comes with a protective cap. It works relatively fast, especially for a pin-based device and offers a range of unique benefits. It’s good for testing surfaces in dark and difficult to access areas. Its design features include the use of a protective cap and the featuring of pins. Additionally, some models come with additional features such as rubberized housing, which provides extra protection against impacts and drops.

A dependable moisture meter may boast an accuracy within 3 percent of the reading, with some professional-grade models getting within 0.5 percent. Scenarios in which a pinless moisture meter is best used include for testing surfaces which are large and flat including a room’s entire floor. To use a moisture meter for drywall, first ensure that the meter is calibrated to accurately measure moisture in the material. If the meter is not calibrated, the results will be inaccurate.

Smaller, more precise scales provide more accurate measurement and frequently come in meters used in the flooring and fine carpentry industry to ensure optimal moisture percentage. However, most DIYers would benefit more from a broader scale range so they can use the same meter for many applications. Additional Features Align the pins perpendicular to the surface before pushing them directly in as far as they can go. Hold the pins in this position.Moisture meters can test the moisture content of many different materials, including drywall, paneling, and wood studs. Furniture makers and other woodworkers use them frequently to ensure they’re working with a quality product, and flooring contractors use the meters to determine ideal moisture conditions when installing a laminate or wood floor over a concrete slab or subfloor. Now, if you like your gadgets and you like a Smartphone app, you could even consider the Unibot humidity sensor. This small little box runs on 2 x AA batteries which can last for 4-6 months. Moisture meters are one of the handiest tools, especially when you’re working on a flooded basement that requires rebuilding. This moisture meter helps you significantly in such a situation. This moisture meter has audible alerts which change their frequency as you go across higher concentrations of moisture. It also comes with varying modes. Unlike most moisture meters, this device has an LED screen. The body of the moisture meter holds a longer second set of pins for deeper penetration, but the real benefit of this model is the simplicity of the design. Select the wood type to be measured, then push the pins into the material. A unique on-off switch between the pins activates the meter so the user only has to look at the reading on the bright, digital LED display.
