Digital Moisture meters
Digital Moisture Meter
The latter type non-invasive meters are otherwise called as pinless or scan-type or non-penetrating meters. Under this type, the two main technologies, namely; Electronic capacitance or impedance technology and radio frequency technology are used. The machines working based on the former technology, use a set of rubbery pads that are placed in contact with the surface of the material that is being tested, while in the case of the machines with the latter technology, a radio frequency signal is sent into the materials with the help of a smooth plastic pad.

Both these technologies give the details about the level of moisture with figure-based representations on the basis of modification of motions produced from the electronics.When you compare the above-mentioned types, you can come to a conclusion that a non-invasive moisture meter can the best as it will not make any hole in the material that is being tested.

But, this type has two main disadvantages. One is that the humidity present in the surface can give a false report and the second is that reading depth is limited.Not only for wood, these meters will be useful for agriculturists too, as they can measure the wetness in soil. Some crops grow only when the wetness in the soil is limited, while some might need extra wetness.
