"wood moisture meter"の定義と意味

What is a "wood moisture meter"?

A wood moisture meter is a tool used to measure the amount of moisture inside wood. It helps determine if the wood is dry enough for construction, woodworking, or other uses, as excessive moisture can cause problems like warping or splitting. The meter usually has either pins that are inserted into the wood or a pinless sensor that scans the surface to provide a moisture reading. Wood moisture meters are widely used by carpenters, flooring installers, and furniture makers to ensure quality and durability in their work.
