This pocket moisture meter is ideal for testing the moisture content of wood, paper, wall board, sheet rock, cardboard, plaster, concrete, and mortar and more. Use to monitor drying of construction materials or use to assess dampness of firewood.
Working with damp building wood for studding or trim can lead to warping or bowing as the wood dries. Dry materials are often preferable as they can produce a more stable, level finished product. The heat produced from a piece of firewood increases as the moisture content decreases.
Knowing the moisture content of the wood or how seasoned it is can be the difference between a smoldering fire and efficient wood heat. With a rugged impact resistant exterior housing and replaceable test pins for durability and accurate testing.
