Moisture Meter Calibration
• Two main types of moisture testing tools for building materials: pin and pinless meters.
• Pin meters use a moisture content standard (MCS) to check meter calibration.
• Pinless moisture meters use a sensor block to check calibration.
• A second moisture testing tool is less accurate than checking meter calibration with an MCS or sensor block.
• Reference checks can be done using pin meter reference checks.
• If both meter readings agree, the meter is in calibration.
• It's recommended to use either a built-in check or a specialized testing tool like an MCS or sensor block.
• Both methods are more reliable, faster, and easier than reference meter checks.
