How does a moisture meter give a reading of the moisture content of wood?

By passing an electrical current from one pin to the other. The greater the moisture content, the higher the resistance. By measuring the resistance, it gives an estimate of the average moisture content. I think. 2009/03/14 - Correct, but exactly backwards .... Moisture (water) can be a conductor. Dry wood is an insulator. The higher the moisture content, the lower the resistance and vice-versa. Wood with a high moisture content gives a low resistance to the tester and conducts the test voltage better.

what is the best part of moisture meter?

Moisture meters are used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance. This information can be used to determine if the material is ready for use, unexpectedly wet or dry, or otherwise in need of further inspection. Wood and paper products are very sensitive to their moisture content. Physical properties are strongly affected by moisture content. Dimensioning also changes with moisture content. there will be a manual indicating optimal moisture for plant's
