2. Moisture meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_meter

   Moisture meters are measuring instruments used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance, as physical properties are strongly affected by moisture content and high moisture content for a period of time may progressively degrade a material. Meters exist for various substances, including wood, building materials, concrete, and soil.

3. TDR moisture sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDR_moisture_sensor

   A spatial TDR moisture sensor employs time-domain reflectometry (TDR) to measure moisture content indirectly based on the correlation to electric and dielectric properties of materials, such as soil, agrarian products, snow, wood or concrete. Measurement usually involves inserting a sensor into the substance to be tested and then applying ...

4. Janka hardness test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janka_hardness_test

   When testing wood in lumber form, the Janka test is always carried out on wood from the tree trunk (known as the heartwood), and the standard sample (according to ASTM D143) is at 12% moisture content and clear of knots. [3] The hardness of wood varies with the direction of the wood grain. Testing on the surface of a plank, perpendicular to the ...

5. Water content - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_content

   Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, crops, or wood. Water content is used in a wide range of scientific and technical areas, and is expressed as a ratio, which can range from 0 (completely dry) to the value of the materials' porosity at saturation.

6. Moisture analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_analysis

   Moisture dew point is the temperature at which moisture condenses out of a gas. This parameter is inherently related to the moisture content, which defines the amount of water molecules as a fraction of the total. Both can be used as a measure of the amount of moisture in a gas and one can be calculated from the other fairly accurately.

7. Concrete moisture meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_moisture_meter

   Concrete meters have evolved from the successful wood moisture meter as flooring contractors tried to use their wood meters to measure the moisture in concrete. Concrete moisture meters are designed to detect moisture to a depth of 1 inch (25 mm) of a concrete slab in order to avoid the rebar reinforcement below the surface. [1]
