capacitance moisture meters

Capacitance moisture meters assess the amount of moisture in materials by measuring their ability to store electrical charge, called capacitance. When placed on or inserted into a material like wood or drywall, the meter detects changes in capacitance caused by varying moisture levels. Since water conducts electricity, wetter materials have higher capacitance values. These meters provide quick, non-destructive readings, helping to determine moisture content accurately for building inspections, gardening, or quality control. They are effective tools for assessing dryness or dampness without damaging the material or requiring chemical analysis.
