One of the most regular causes of a coating's failure, is moisture. It is not sufficient to simply ensure that the surface is dry, as often the surface of the substrate is the driest point - due to evaporation. Moisture Meters are therefore important in being able to measure the level of moisture.
Frequently asked questions
How do moisture meters work?
Meters that measure moisture can be used for many different applications. Each meter is trying to approximate an oven dried method of taking a reading where you measure the weight of a sample, dry it using an oven or a microwave, re-weigh it and keep drying it until the reading is stable. You then take the difference in the weight and divide it by the final weight to get a moisture percent. The meter is a hand-held device that tries to approximate this reading as closely as possible.
What is wood moisture equivalent?
The moisture level that is most widely used is something called a Wood Moisture Equivalent or WME. This is the moisture level that would be present in Wood if the wood was in contact with the material that you are measuring.
