Abstract:
Moisture meters typically require calibration, sampling, and time; may not be suitable for a variety of materials; and may not be portable enough to be used on jobsites. Fortunately, alternative, handheld devices are available for construction workers. The article presents one such meter, which measures reflected near-infrared light and automatically converts the result into a moisture content reading.
