Delmhorst J-2000 Moisture Meter Review

The Delmhorst J-2000 is a digital pin-type meter that can be used for measuring moisture in wood and other building materials. This meter is intuitive to use and has a rugged build that should stand up well to a lot of use. Accuracy test results indicate that this meter has some limits. Readings tended to be high when MC falls below 8% MC. Readings for some species, such as Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, tend to be low when MC is above 10%. In addition, the J-2000 does not maintain its accuracy when surface moisture is present.
