Questions & Answers

For plaster on wood lath, what will the device measure - moisture in the plaster or the wood, or in between? What numerical value indicates an acceptably dry condition? Does metal lath between wood lath and plaster affect the measurement? Thanks!

Answer This Question

Hello, this device will measure moisture between 0.8 to 1.6" in depth. Depending on the thickness of the plaster and wood, the Moisture Meter could measure a single material or both. The device will display relative moisture readings between 0 and 100%. The "RISK" alarm will go off at 30% by default, and the "WET" alarm will go off at 60% by default (though these alarms are user adjustable). The presence of metal could interfere with the Moisture Meter's electromagnetic sensor and provide unreliable measurements.
