Energy:
From the homeowner who burns wood for heat realizing a
lower moisture content allows wood to burn hotter and
cleaner, to industrial scale natural gas plants that must
remove excess moisture before the gas is marketable, energy
is another industry with far reaching moisture control needs.
Moisture can also adversely affect the insulation or motor
windings of power generation equipment as well as internal
combustion engines that burn gasoline tainted with water.

Pin-Type:
Pin-type meters are an invasive way to measure
moisture. They consist of a pair of pins attached to the meter
which are pushed or driven into the material being tested.
Since the pins penetrate the material, they do cause damage
to the surface so testing should be done to a scrap piece or
the back of the material.
