Digital Moisture Meter

Digital Moisture Meter

Digital Moisture Meters are important instruments that are utilized by many industries for the detection of the level of moisture in different materials. Moreover, these instruments are also used by engineers and building inspectors to identify potential issues caused by water or moisture build-up. Digital moisture meters for wood are also used to ensure moisture-free wooden framework in furniture making.

Moisture meters are available in different sizes and shapes. The indicator scales in the meter tell about the moisture content in percentage. There are some instruments that show the moisture content digitally. The accuracy of reading varies according to different meters, brands and types of functionalities.

A Digital Moisture Meter works on the principle of electrical resistance. The product is quite popular and easy to operate. There are different types of moisture meters, such as grain moisture meters, automatic seed counters, textile moisture meters, digital moisture meters for wood and other similar products. These products are light in weight and are designed for maintenance-free operation for a longer duration.

Checking of Moisture Content

Moisture content checking is an easy job. Except wooden materials, moisture content can be measured on a scale of 0 to 100. The lowest or 0 indicates absolutely dry and 100 reads total saturation with moisture. Some instruments have LED indicators that show dry, moderate, wet and saturated signs. The colour indicators in some instruments also indicate the moisture content in the material. For example, green, yellow and red indicates dry, moderate and high respectively. The colour indication is very effective because it devoid of any miscalculation.

Different Types of Digital Moisture Meter

Pin-type Digital Moisture Meter:

The measurement of moisture is done by the head of the contact pins. This type of instrument comes with two pins that are inserted into the surface of the material. The reading is calculated after it is properly inserted at the desired depth, and electrical resistance between two pins is measured. This type of measurement is also known as an invasive process because of the insertion of the pins. The measurement of moisture content is relatively accurate.

Pinless Moisture Meter:

These devices function according to the electrical impedance principle. This method is non-invasive and doesn’t require any pin insertion. The method is used to measure moisture content in wood, concrete and gypsum. The scales are identical to pin-type meters.

Pin/Pinless/All-in-One Moisture Meter:

The method has used both principles to measure moisture in the material. This type of method is highly versatile and can be used by engineers, building inspectors, general contractors and others.

FAQs:

What is the use of a moisture meter?

Moisture meters are used to check the moisture content in the material. It helps reduce certain defects such as shrinkage, cracks and splits.

In what range pin-type meter operates?

These meters work best from the range of saturation points of 25 to 30 per cent.

Does surface moisture hamper a Delmhorst Meter reading?

The surface moisture caused by humidity, rain, fog or any other external factors can be easily detected with insulated pins. Reading taken by a surface meter makes it difficult to measure the accurate moisture content of the whole material.

How far non-insulated pins should be driven into wood?

If the moisture level is below 10%, it is usually sufficient to make good, positive contact with the material. At a higher level of moisture content, it is essential to have a steep penetration.
