Amprobe MT-10 Moisture-Meter - Manual (Page 9)

3 4
INTRODUCTION
Moisture meters MT-10 can be used to measure the
amount of water in the wood or building material so
that the woodworker can determine if it is suitable for
the intended purpose. Building inspectors, carpenters,
hobbyists, and other woodworkers often are required
to have moisture meters. Wood flooring installers, for
example, have to verify that the moisture of the wood
matches the relative humidity in the air of the building.
If this step is skipped, a vast array of problems may
present itself: cracking, cupping, crowning, buckling,
sunken joints, and cracked finishes.
