We can only suggest generic moisture ranges based on what is generally considered to be wet or dry. We recommend consulting with a flooring expert for more accurate information. Dry: <10-12%; Mid: 13-16%; Wet: >17%.

Generally speaking, moisture below 10% would be considered dry. However, actual acceptable moisture levels can vary depending on the region you live in. We recommend consulting with a home inspection authority in your area to find more specific information.

Accuracy is in a percentage of full scale, not % of reading. Go with the General Tools answer to this question.
