Handheld Moisture Meters
Does my Wagner Meters Handheld Moisture Meter ever require readjustment or need to be calibrated?
How accurate is the Wagner Meters Handheld Moisture Meter?
Does it matter which way you set a Wagner Meters Handheld Moisture Meter on the wood?
Will the sub-floor effect my readings? The previously installed flooring measures 5/8” thick.
Can you check moisture content of particle board or wafer board with handheld moisture meters?
How can I take accurate readings without sticking pins into the wood?
Can I use my handheld moisture meter for materials other than wood?
Do I need to worry about moisture gradients and wet pockets?
How are moisture meters affected by surface moisture?
How does the difference in measuring techniques affect accuracy?
How rugged are Wagner Handheld Moisture Meters?
Is the Wagner Meters Handheld Moisture Meter safe to use?
The boards I'm measuring have been pressure treated (i.e. ACQ). What meter setting do I use?
The flooring I am trying to measure is pre-finished; will this affect the readings I get?
The flooring for which I am trying to obtain readings is already installed and is 5/8” thick. Will the subfloor have an effect on the readings?
What are the effects of relative humidity on Wagner Meters Handheld Moisture Meter readings?
What is IntelliSense™ Technology and how does it work?
What is proper moisture content for wood? What moisture content is considered too high or too low?
What is the Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) for my area?
What is the best Wagner Meters Handheld Moisture Meter for me?
What thickness of boards can I measure?

Plywood OSB, MDF, Veneer
Can I use my Wagner moisture meter to measure subfloors such as Plywood, OSB or MDF?
Can I use my meter to measure accurately through laminated materials?
Specific Gravity
I don’t know the specific gravity (SG) of the flooring. How can I determine what it is?
Where can I find a list of species settings?
What is the correct specific gravity (SG) setting for OSB, Plywood or MDF?
My digital moisture meter can only be set to measure wood species with specific gravities (SG's) up to 0.70 but the species I am trying to read has a published SG higher than that. What do I do?
I need to measure the moisture content in a very exotic species of wood and its specific gravity (SG) is not included in the species adjustment tables. How can I find the correct SG?
How do I get a specific gravity (SG) for engineered flooring?
