Moisture Meter Buying Guide
Moisture is a natural variable which affects numerous industries and occurs in many different types of materials. A Moisture Meter is an essential tool because it allows you to precisely quantify the level of moisture in a material you are working with. Excessive moisture can cause big problems down the line which can be costly to repair - if left unmonitored, moisture can cause dangerous mold growth, flooring failures, inventory product losses, and even professional liability issues.

Regardless of the material being measured or type of moisture meter used, the primary measurement for these tools is moisture content (MC). This measurement is often restricted to a particular scale. Measuring moisture in wood is very common – a typical scale range for a wood moisture meter is 7-20% MC, meaning the meter can detect moisture content from 7 to 20 percent in a piece of wood. Different meters will have different scales for different applications and materials.
