Moisture meter is a professional instrument for measuring moisture content of wood and other building materials. It has pinless technology to quickly indicate the moisture content of materials without damaging the surface. It can also measure air temperature, IR temperature or humidity.
The Extech MO290 is a multifunctional instrument designed to measure moisture content in wood and other building materials using non-penetrating Pinless technology. It also features a built-in IR thermometer for non-contact surface temperature readings, allowing users to identify cold spots and potential condensation issues.
