Moisture Mapping

Moisture Monitoring Equipment

Moisture sensors are essential tools for measuring the moisture content in materials. Various types of moisture sensors can be used depending on the application and material being tested.

  • Capacitance sensors: These sensors measure the change in capacitance between two electrodes when the surrounding material absorbs moisture.
  • Resistance sensors: These sensors measure the change in electrical resistance between two electrodes as the material becomes more or less moist.
  • Thermal conductivity sensors: These sensors measure the change in thermal conductivity of a material as its moisture content changes.
  • Microwave sensors: These sensors measure the change in microwave absorption of a material as its moisture content changes.

What Tool is Used to Measure Moisture?

A variety of moisture meters and sensors can measure moisture content in materials. Some common types include:

  • Pin-type moisture meters: These meters have two pins that are inserted into the material to measure the electrical resistance.
  • Impedance moisture meters: These meters use a high-frequency signal to measure the impedance of the material.
  • Capacitance moisture meters: These meters measure the change in capacitance between two electrodes when the surrounding material absorbs moisture.
  • Microwave moisture meters: These meters measure the change in microwave absorption of a material as its moisture content changes.

When choosing a moisture meter, consider the accuracy, range, and depth of penetration required for the application.
