Building Materials Moisture Meters
Building Materials Moisture Meters can be split into pin type and non destructive moisture meters, which range from entry level models to sophisticated units which download readings to a computer. Many substrates that are coated in industry today, are porous and can absorb moisture. It is necessary to measure the moisture content within the substrate to reduce the possibility of subsequent coating failure. When powder coating substrates which have a high moisture content - such as wood or MDF, steam will generate during the curing process damaging the new coating. Other substrates, which may have a high moisture content include concrete, fibreboard, plasterboard, gypsum and brick. Meters that measure moisture can be used for many different applications.
