When wood and wood by-products are installed at the correct moisture content for the environment in which they will be used, the risk of swelling or shrinkage is minimised.
If it is installed too wet and dries in service the result will be shrinkage and distortion. If it is installed too dry it could gain moisture which could result in swelling.
Using a good quality moisture meter is the most practical way of ensuring the wood is at the correct moisture level for its intended use.

Knowing the actual moisture level also enables efficient processing to be carried out, such as milling, machining, gluing, laminating, spraying and hand painting.

The Tramex Professional Moisture meter is a hand-held instrument designed to take precise measurements of moisture content in wood and wood products.
Using built-in electronic probes, the Tramex Pro is easy to use and extremely accurate, giving readings up to 40% in 0.1% increments over the entire measurement range.
Readings are displayed on the large clearview digital LCD display.
The Tramex Professional offers a most practical and accurate way of ensuring that wood is at the correct moisture level for its intended use, proving it to be a vital tool for good quality control.
