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.
Non-Destructive Wood Moisture Meter (Moco II) — No Longer Manufactured
The HM530, also known as the Moco II, measured wood moisture through surface contact using high-frequency capacitance, leaving no pin marks. It has been replaced by the HM540, which carries the same non-destructive method forward with a wider species range and added data logging.
Non-marking measurement: read moisture through the surface without driving pins into the wood.
Wide range: 2 to 150% moisture content across more than 400 species.
Replaced by the HM540: the current model adds 999-point memory, USB logging, and JHWTC certification.
