What do moisturizers bring?
A moisture device measures the amount of water in the air, in floors, building materials such as wood or concrete and other raw materials to provide information about their condition or quality. Moisture meters are used to actively control the current air humidity and are essential in many industries, including construction, agriculture and HVAC, to ensure optimal conditions or to avoid material damage due to excessive or low moisture.
The surrounding moisture also plays a crucial role in the function of electronic devices. If moisture is too high, condensation can form on surfaces, which can cause short circuits and damage the electronics.
Moisture devices can come in different forms, including hand devices, stationary units and integrated systems that carry out specific measurements such as relative humidity, dew point and water content.
How do moisturizers work?
Moisture meters use different methods to determine the water content in materials or air, depending on the device type and purpose. A common procedure is the capacitive measurement in which the capacity of a capacitor is measured.
This changes due to the moisture in the area or in the material, which influences the dielectric properties of the capacitor and causes a measurable change in capacity. In the capacitive method, also called dielectric water content measurement methods, electromagnetic waves are used to measure the moisture via moisture device.
Another method is the resistance measurement, in which the moisture device determines the electrical resistance between two electrodes, which changes with the moisture content. Moist materials conduct electricity better than dry, which enables direct measurement of the moisture content. The technology used to be used mainly in wood, but is now also suitable for mineral building materials. The measured resistance is analyzed taking into account the building material type, whereby conversion tables contribute to the exact evaluation.
Infrared moisture devices enable the moisture to be measured without direct contact by analyzing the infrared radiation cast by objects. This method is particularly suitable for the quick check of the surface moisture on large areas.
A moisture device determines and convert the value into absolute or relative moisture. The absolute moisture is often expressed in mass or volume units such as grams, liters or milliliters, often in relation to the crowd. Relative moisture, on the other hand, is given in percent.

How do you find the right moisture meter?
Since there are different moisture devices, you should take your corresponding requirements into account when deciding and take the time to select the appropriate moisture meter. You should pay attention to this.
Determine the application purpose: First you should clearly define what the moisture meter should be used for. Different industries and materials require different types of moisture devices. For example, in the construction industry you may need a device that can measure moisture in concrete or wood, while in agriculture there are required devices that determine the soil moisture.
Measurement area and accuracy: Check the required measuring range and the accuracy of the device. Some applications require very precise measurements, while others may have to cover a wider measuring range.
User -friendliness: Choose a device that is easy to use. This is particularly important if the device is regularly used by different people or under field conditions.
Robust and durability: For outdoor applications or under rough conditions, it is important to choose a robust device that can withstand environmental influences such as moisture, dust and temperature fluctuations.
Technology and functions: Different moisture measuring devices use different technologies, such as capacitive, resistive or optical sensors. Each technology has its own advantages and disadvantages, which are suitable depending on the application. Additional functions such as data storage, Bluetooth connectivity or software integration can also be an advantage.
What are the optimal assembly conditions for moisture meters?
The professional assembly is necessary so that you can rely on your moisture meter at any time. The following tips support you in the right installation.
Identify ambient conditions: First of all, it is important to understand the specific environmental conditions under which the moisture meter is used. The presence of chemicals, extreme temperatures or high humidity can affect the performance of certain sensor types.
Avoidance of heat sources and draft: Moisture meters should not be installed near heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or air conditioning, as these can falsify the measurement results. Likewise, places should be avoided where there is heavy draft, as is near the door or window openings.
Ensure sufficient air circulation: In order to ensure a precise measurement of the ambient moisture, the moisture device should be installed so that there is a good air circulation around the sensor.
Protection against water and dust: If moisturizers are used in environments that are exposed to dust, dirt or high moisture, you should take suitable protective measures. This can include the use of housings or covers that protect the sensor from the environmental pollution.
Accessibility for maintenance and calibration: You should install every moisture meter so that it is easily accessible for regular maintenance and calibration work.
