Non-Destructive Wood Moisture Meter — 2 to 150% Range, 400+ Species, No Pin Marks
The HM540 reads moisture content through surface contact alone, using two metal sensors and high-frequency capacitance to measure inside the wood without leaving a single pin hole. Built for sawmills, kiln operators, and importers who need a true reading on green, dense, or finished timber that contractor-grade meters cannot reach.
Widest range in its class: measures 2 to 150% moisture content, reading green and wet timber far above where pinless competitors stop.
400+ species coverage: specific gravity setting from 0.10 to 1.25 covers dense tropical hardwoods, not just common construction species.
Non-marking measurement: two metal emitter and detector sensors read through the surface, leaving finished and veneer-grade wood unblemished.
Authorized and documented: JHWTC-certified for conifer timber, with 999-point memory and USB data logging for quality-control records.
Pin-Type Wood Moisture Meter — Needle Probe, 16 Wood Groups, Field-Ready
The MT730 drives a needle probe into the wood for a direct electrical-resistance reading, working on rough, uneven, and stacked lumber where a flat-contact meter cannot sit. Built for sawmills, lumber yards, and woodworkers who want a dependable field reading without software, calibration blocks, or setup.
Reads rough and uneven stock: the penetrating needle probe takes a reading where surface-contact meters cannot make firm contact.
Hardwood, softwood, and 16 wood groups: selectable calibrations cover general lumber and veneer across a wide species range.
Accurate where it counts: ±0.5% below 20% moisture, the working range for kiln-dried and finished lumber.
Straightforward and rugged: automatic temperature compensation, upper-limit alarm, and averaging in a meter that runs all day on AA batteries.
