Test Moisture Content without Penetrating the Surface
The Pinless Moisture Meter measures moisture content in composite materials, as well as substrates such as foam and wood, by simply running the probe over the surface. This non-destructive moisture detector is capable of measuring up to 1.6" (40mm) into the surface of the material. The Pinless Moisture Meter is used prior to laminating over a substrate like wood to check its moisture content. It can also be used to measure the moisture content of reinforcement fabrics that have been packed in plastic or stored in high humidity environments. Excessive moisture can impede proper cure and effect the physical properties of your laminate. This moisture meter is a must-have when performing repairs to any surface that has direct exposure to water or high humidity levels. It is not recommended to laminate over substrates when the moisture content exceeds: Wood- 50%, Concrete- 30%, Fiberglass- 20%.

HI Sir/madam
would you advise if the meter can measure moisture content at specific depth in material, such as measure the moisture content at only 10 mm depth of material?
Hi Terry,
The meter detects moisture over a depth range of approximately 20 mm (0.8″) up to 40 mm (1.6″) but cannot isolate moisture at a specific depth like exactly 10 mm below the surface.
What the meter can do:
The meter uses pinless, non-invasive technology to estimate moisture content below the surface without penetrating the material.
It senses moisture over a range of depths, typically from about 20 mm to 40 mm (0.8″ to 1.6″) below the surface.
That means when you scan a surface, the readings reflect an integrated moisture level averaged over that entire sensing depth range rather than at a specific shallow depth like 10 mm.
Pinless meters work by transmitting low-frequency electromagnetic energy into the material and detecting how moisture affects that field. This type of sensing inherently samples a volume of material rather than a precise point or depth layer, so you get a depth range of sensitivity rather than an adjustable or discrete depth.
Hope this helps!
