Wood Moisture Meters

Wood Moisture Meters can be split into 2 categories - pin type and non destructive. With the pin type model you would push the needles or pins into the wood and get a reading. The non destructive models involve placing the instrument on the surface and getting an average reading for the depth that the gauge is capable of - usually 25 to 30mm deep.
