HM540 Wood Moisture Meter – Instant, Handheld, Portable – Non-Destructive

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.

MT730 Wood Moisture Meter

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.

MT900 Wood Moisture Meter

Pin-Type Wood Moisture Meter — 80% Range, 250-Reading Memory, Green-Timber Ready The MT900 extends pin-type measurement to 80% moisture content and stores 250 date-stamped readings, built for sawmills and kiln operators tracking green and freshly sawn timber from the green chain through drying. The same needle probe and 16-group calibration as the MT730, with the range and recordkeeping a production operation needs.

Reads green and wet timber: a 6 to 80% range covers freshly sawn stock well above where standard pin meters top out at 40%.
Built-in data logging: stores 250 readings with date, time, and wood group, with optional thermal printer output for hard-copy records.
Hardwood, softwood, and 16 wood groups: the same proven calibration system as the MT730, across the full species range.
Production-ready: real-time clock, averaging, upper-limit alarm, and automatic temperature compensation in a rugged, all-day field meter.

Turku Benchtop Wood Moisture Meter

Benchtop Wood Moisture Meter — No Longer Manufactured The Turku was a benchtop resistance moisture meter notable for its two interchangeable probes: a non-penetrating contact probe for finished or delicate surfaces, and a 4-pin needle probe for internal measurement. One instrument covered both marking-sensitive and standard lumber work.

Two probes, one meter: Non-marking contact probe and penetrating 4-pin needle probe, interchangeable
Benchtop stability: Fixed-station measurement for repeatable shop and QC use
Automatic temperature compensation: Thermistor-based correction for consistent readings

HG770 Online Wood Moisture Meter

Online Inline Wood Moisture Meter — No Longer Manufactured The HG770 was an online wood moisture meter for continuous, inline measurement on production lines. Using a needle-roller contact system and DC resistance, it monitored moisture on moving stock and output readings to process equipment in real time.

Continuous online measurement: Monitored moisture on moving wood without stopping the line
Process integration: RS-232C and analog outputs for line control and logging
Large LED readout: Visible process display for operators

HM530 Non-Destructive Wood Moisture Meter (Moco II)

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.
