How do you decide between using a pin vs. pinless moisture meter for a job?
Here are eight key factors to consider when evaluating both types of damp testing equipment:
- Surface damage
- Accuracy
- Speed
- Adaptability
- Repeatability
- Ease of use
- Cost
- Safety
- Surface damage: If you are testing an area that is visible and you don't want to damage the surface, then you should use a pinless moisture meter.
- Accuracy: If you need a more accurate reading, then you should use a pin moisture meter.
- Speed: Pinless moisture meters are typically faster.
- Adaptability: If you need to test different types of surfaces or material, then you should use a pinless moisture meter.
- Repeatability: If you need to test the same area multiple times, then you should use a pinless moisture meter.
- Ease of use: Pinless moisture meters are typically easier to use.
- Cost: Pinless moisture meters are typically more expensive.
- Safety: If you are concerned about safety, then you should use a pinless moisture meter.
