Important
Moisture readings depend on calibration, wood material and species, grain, temperature, surface condition, and measurement technique. Follow the Kett instructions and use suitable calibration checks. A reading is not proof of structural safety, absence of decay, or code compliance. Tax, shipping, import costs, warranty, and calibration services are separate.Image: Kett ↗
