Extech MO290 & MO295 Moisture Meters
An informational video about the new MO290 and MO295 Pin/Pinless Multifunction Moisture Meters from Extech Instruments.
Tech Tips: Moisture Meters
What are Moisture Meters?
Moisture Meters sense, measure and display the moisture content of wood and other building products. Materials such as sheet rock, wall board, mortar, concrete, plaster, cardboard, and others can be tested for moisture.
How are Moisture Meters used?
Moisture Meters are used to detect moisture in wood, wall board, and other building materials to gage damage from flooding, high humidity, or other causes, for example. Moisture meters are also used in furniture manufacturing and rebuilding, wood flooring, wood drying, flood insurance claims, building inspection, pest control, and many others.
How do Moisture Meters operate?
Moisture meters determine the moisture content of a material by way of pin-like probes that are inserted directly into the material under test. The moisture reading is then displayed on the meter. The unit of measure for moisture content varies from instrument to instrument some use ‘%’ and others use a relative scale from 0 to 100 where 100 represents maximum and 0 represents minimum moisture. Many meters also use a Dry, Moist, and Wet indicator for convenience.
Extech Instruments Moisture Meters
MO100 – Measures moisture content in wood using a relative scale (0 to 100) divided into three degrees of moisture (Dry, Moist, and Wet). The MO100 can also measure the temperature of ambient air.
MO200 - Measures moisture content in wood from 6 to 44% and in other building materials from 0.2 to 2.0%. Other building products include wall board, sheet rock, cardboard, paper, plaster, mortar, and concrete.
NIST Certificates Available: Meters are calibrated to NIST standards at an independent calibration laboratory. Delivery is typically 3 weeks. Check listing for price and part numbers.
