Wood Moisture Meters

Buying a high quality Merlin Technology moisture meter is the equivalent of purchasing insurance.  All the guess work is removed and you will never have to wonder whether the “kiln-dried” timber was dried to 9% moisture content (about what you need for indoor projects) or 19% (what most construction grade pine is kiln dried to). Once you can read the moisture content accurately you can determine when the wood is stable enough to use.

For non-destructive moisture measurement, the device is placed directly on the material to be measured. External sensors are available for measuring relative humidity, dew point and wood equilibrium moisture. In parquet floors, the relative humidity and temperature can be measured by means of a built-in sensor. Special pairs of electrodes are available for measuring building moisture, which are optimised for screed, insulation materials or hard building materials, for example. Ramming electrodes enable the uncomplicated measurement of wood moisture by means of resistance measurement.
