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.
Analog Pin-Type Wood Moisture Meter — No Longer Manufactured
The AW-MO was a rugged, analog wood moisture meter built around a 4-needle probe and a direct-reading meter scale. With no display electronics to set up, it gave a fast moisture reading the moment the probe was driven into the wood.
Analog simplicity: Direct needle-gauge reading with zero menus or modes
4-needle probe: Penetrating resistance measurement for solid lumber
Field-rugged: Battery-checked, strap-equipped, built for the yard and the shop
