NON-INVASIVE – INDUCTIVE WOOD AND BUILDING MATERIAL MOISTURE METER WINTACT

Precise moisture measurement without damaging the surface

The inductive moisture meter is a device that allows for precise measurement of moisture content in wood and building materials without damaging them. The measurement is made by directly applying the meter to the surface of the material, with a detection depth of up to 50 mm.

The device offers 10 measurement programs that can be adjusted for different types of wood and groups of building materials, allowing for even more accurate results.

The meter is also perfect for measuring the moisture of building materials such as: cement mortars, lime mortars, bricks, and other materials used in construction.

Moisture meter functions:

• Wood moisture measurement – the ability to select wood density.

• Building materials moisture measurement – quick and precise determination of moisture level.

• Moisture limit setting – a function that allows control of parameters.

• Temperature measurement – the ability to select units (°C / °F).

• Backlit display – a function to turn the backlight on and off for better readability.

• HOLD function – freezing measurement results on the screen.

• Battery level indicator – information about the power status.

• Automatic shutdown – energy saving after a period of inactivity.

• Alarm value setting – signaling when a specified moisture level is exceeded.

• Battery charging function – the ability to charge the battery.

Application of the moisture meter

The moisture content of wood is crucial for its processing and subsequent use. It depends on hygroscopicity (the ability to absorb moisture from the environment) and permeability, which affects the properties of wood and its resistance to deformation.

Moisture meters are essential tools for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. They are used in many industries, including:

• Wood processing plants – quality control of material before further processing.
• Lumber yards – monitoring the drying level of wood.
• Craft workshops – precise control of wood before use in furniture and decorative elements production.
• Construction – assessment of moisture in building materials and wooden structures.

The meter is also helpful in measuring the moisture of paper products, herbs, and other materials that can absorb water.
