Tramex PTM2.0 Pin-Type Moisture Meter for Wood and Timber Inspection (6–46% MC)

Professional PTM 2.0 Hand-Held Digital Moisture Meter

The all-new Professional PTM 2.0 is a precise, hand-held, digital, pin-type resistance moisture meter designed for accurate moisture measurement in wood, relative readings in drywall, and comparative WME (Wood Moisture Equivalent) assessments in wood by-products and other construction materials.

Equipped with integrated standard calibrations and custom settings for over 500 wood species, the PTM 2.0 ensures reliable readings. Its adjustable temperature compensation allows for consistent accuracy across different environmental conditions.

The Professional Pin-Type Moisture Meter for Wood is widely used by woodworking professionals, flooring installers, building inspectors, and restoration specialists to measure moisture content directly inside wood and wood-based materials. Pin-type meters determine moisture by measuring electrical resistance between probe pins inserted into the wood, a method explained in the technical overview of professional pin-type wood moisture meters, where higher moisture reduces resistance and produces a measurable moisture value. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Professionals value this type of meter for precise internal readings, species calibration, and adjustable temperature correction that improves measurement reliability across different wood densities. Compared with basic surface meters, resistance pin meters can measure moisture deeper within lumber and provide accurate moisture content ranges such as 6–46% with species adjustments, as detailed in the specifications of professional wood moisture meters, supporting quality control during flooring installation, lumber drying, and building inspections. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
