I am putting exotic wood down and I would like to measure not only the moisture content of the air but the wood itself?

The UEi test instrument has its measuring sensor inside the end of the instrument and can only measure the moisture in the air going into the sensor. To measure the moisture in the wood you need a probe that would go into the wood. The feature that makes the UEi instrument so usable is the rapid response of measurement of temperature and humidity.

I used a cigar hygrometer calibration kit to test it. Inexpensive and accurate way to test the probe for accuracy.

It's not made for that so I don't know how sensitive the readings would be, but I do think it would give some response. It has two small metal prongs that you stick on or in different materials and then it beeps and shows a percentage read out. You can switch it from "wood" to "building materials" depending on what you need to test. I did use it on some foam that the builder sprayed into a crevice, and on some rotted drywall that was spongy.

There is a measuring cup, but I haven't had any issue with excess water/ moisture. There steam escapes at the top. Hope this helps!

It's some kind of pressboard, but have mine in the kitchen so I don't know how the humidity will affect it. It's a nice little cabinet for the money.

Hello. Amazon asked me to answer your question. This product is used to seal the moisture in project wood and is used by folks who turn wood on a lathe. Fresh wood is cut and the end grain is sealed with this product to prevent checking or cracking. This sealer allows the wood to dry down to a moisture content around 7%. There is nearly 50% moisture content when green. Once the wood reaches a low moisture content, it is deemed to be stable.: - )

turn the tester on place prong in the brake fluid reserivor read moisture per instructions. reads the amount of moisture in your brake line.something not everybody does but dealers do recommend this. better than rust in your lines

The easiest for me would be a log spud. I spudded over 100 white pine logs over 35' each for a log home by hand with couple of log spuds. It's more like knocking the bark off with the weight of the spud. That way, you don't degrade the log itself with a log wizard or something that would grind and degrade the log. My opinion.

The meter is very simple. A needle lies on to of a "meter?" and the meter runs from 0 to 10. The needle tells you the moisture in the soil. Seems accurate.

Sorry, I don't know the difference between this and the moisture. I use this everyday and love it.

Only for a few seconds, so this may not be the best option to check for drafts. You can buy something called a "smoke pen" for cheap at some hardware stores for this purpose. Or an incense stick.

It's called "The Salt Test". You take about a table spoon of salt in a little cup or something of that nature, and add a few drops of water to it. Place the salt and hygrometer in a liplock bag for 6-12 hours and it should read 75 %, if not, turn the little screw type thing in the back.........but be careful, my last one broke on first adjustment.

I have no idea but it is activated by water so presumably moisture in the air would degrade it but slowly.

Not sure. Moisture content depends on type of wood. You would have to take reading, then dry the bread and calculate the water content and compare to scale reading. Then select diff wood types to get closest to your water content determined by weight difference. Sample needs to be homogeneous. Content might vary with different flours.

Sorry to say, I have not seen a shift in the readings due to temperature. The unit is hand held, so if it has a temperature sensor that is part of the unit, it is buried in the body of the unit. Suggest you contact the OEM about this question. Sorry again, but all I am worried about is- is the wood dry enough to start working. In my case, the moisture just needs to be low... not mid or high.

Probably not as a direct reading. Likely the surface temperature of the glass will be read. You would likely have more luck measuring the surrounding walls and frame.

Yes, the meter can be used for this purpose. You would have to sample the leave's liquid matrix at various points on the structure but as long as your measurement locus is the same then the results should be the same. Time of day, maturity of plant as well as locus and soil/soil moisture should all be kept constant. If you modify any of these variables then that is your post sample condition. Get a baseline and confirm with multiple samples THEN start changing soil/water/maturity, etc.
