How Does It Compare with Other JLab Wood Moisture Meters?
| Model | Range | Accuracy (as listed) | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| This meter (EL-SI-8161) | 8–32% | ±0.5% | Direct reading; 2-pin probe; test procedure on the panel; 27 x 14 x 13 cm; probe and battery included |
| Moisture Meter for Wood (Moisture Meter range) | 8–32% | ±0.5% | Same listed specification as this meter |

Choose this meter for routine timber checks where a simple direct reading and written instructions on the panel are enough. The digital Moisture Meter for Woods suits buyers who want the wider range, the tighter listed accuracy and automatic temperature compensation. The other Moisture Meter for Wood listing shows the same specification as this one, so ask JLab if you need to know whether the two differ.
What Is the Wood Moisture Meter Used For?
Wood swells as it takes up water and shrinks as it dries, so moisture content is checked before timber is machined, glued, finished or stacked for seasoning. Timber yards, sawmills, carpentry and furniture workshops use a meter like this to accept or reject a delivery and to follow drying; in teaching it suits ITI carpentry and woodwork trades, forestry and wood-science courses and the building-materials lab of a polytechnic or engineering college. The listing also names pulp among the materials it reads.
A 2-pin meter measures how easily a small current passes through the wood between its pins: wetter wood conducts better, and the meter turns that into a moisture reading. Follow the procedure on the panel, push both pins in to the same depth, and take several readings across the board and away from the ends, where wood dries fastest. Readings depend on the wood species and its temperature, so treat results on unfamiliar species as a guide. Wipe the pins after use, replace the battery when the reading becomes unsteady, and store the meter in a dry place.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Model — this direct-reading meter (8–32%) or the digital Moisture Meter for Woods with automatic temperature compensation (8–40%).
- What you will test — the timber species or the pulp, so JLab can confirm the meter suits your samples.
- Spares — the meter comes with a probe and battery; ask if you want spare probes or batteries quoted.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 meters, for example one per workshop bench or field team plus spares.
Frequently Asked Questions
What moisture range does this meter read?
It reads moisture directly from 8 to 32%, and the listed accuracy is ±0.5%. For a wider range, the digital Moisture Meter for Woods is listed at 8–40%.
How does the meter take a reading?
Through a 2-pin probe pushed into the sample. The test procedure is written on the panel of the cabinet, so students and workshop staff can follow the same steps each time.
Are the probe and battery included?
Yes. The meter is supplied complete with its probe and battery. The listing gives the power as one battery cell; confirm the battery type with JLab if you plan to stock spares.
How is it different from the Moisture Meter for Woods?
That model is a microprocessor-based digital meter with automatic temperature compensation, a listed range of 8–40% and accuracy of ±0.3%. This one is a direct-reading meter covering 8–32% with ±0.5% accuracy.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, destination country and port or city, preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if you are buying against a tender.
