Tramex Survey Encounter
Moisture in Wood Meter
Featured Rental

Magnify
Our recommended moisture meter rental, the Survey Encounter takes non destructive readings using a low frequency signal without the need for pins or probes. The Survey Encounter is a highly accurate meter that automatically compensates for temperature and density. The on board memory stores calibrations for 32 woods species, 3 wall types, 3 roofing material types, and 1 custom setting. Using the powerful PC software any of 300 additional wood species calibrations can be stored on the instrument for use in the field. Additionally, the on board datalogging allows informative reports to be prepared by storing moisture readings along with the reading number, date, time, temperature, and wood type for later transfer to a PC.
