Calibrate the moisture meter regularly

Regular calibration is essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of moisture meters. By following the manufacturer’s instructions, you can ensure that your moisture meter provides consistent and precise readings. Here are some tips to calibrate your moisture meter:

How to Check the Moisture Content of Wood Without a Meter?

  • Use a pin-type moisture meter: Insert the pins into the wood and read the moisture content directly from the meter’s display.
  • Use a resistance-type moisture meter: Place the probes on the wood and measure the resistance. Higher resistance indicates lower moisture content.
  • Use a capacitance-type moisture meter: Place the sensor on the wood and measure the capacitance. Higher capacitance indicates higher moisture content.
  • Use a microwave-type moisture meter: Send microwave signals into the wood and measure the reflected energy. Higher reflected energy indicates higher moisture content.
  • Use a nuclear-type moisture meter: Emit neutrons into the wood and measure the number of neutrons that scatter back. Higher neutron scatter indicates higher moisture content.
