TRIPLETT MS120 Pinless Moisture Meter 1in Depth
Pinless moisture meter measures wood up to 99.9% and building materials up to 56.5% at one-inch depth with NFC interface and low-battery alert
- Pinless design measures moisture without surface damage
- 1 inch scanning depth reaches subsurface moisture in wood and building materials
- Wood moisture range up to 99.9 percent covers wet to oven-dry conditions
- Non-wood material range up to 56.5 percent suits drywall, concrete and masonry
- NFC interface enables data transfer to compatible devices
TRIPLETT MS120 Pinless Moisture Meter
The TRIPLETT MS120 is a pinless moisture meter designed for measuring moisture content in wood and building materials without surface damage. It suits inspectors, contractors and woodworkers who need non-invasive readings up to one inch deep. The tool provides instant feedback through a sound alert when moisture levels exceed set thresholds. A low battery indicator helps maintain reliable operation during extended use.
NFC Interface and Calibration Status
The meter includes an NFC interface for data transfer or configuration with compatible devices. No remote probe is included with the unit, limiting measurements to the integrated sensor area. The device does not carry a calibration certificate, so users requiring documented traceability must arrange independent verification. These factors affect suitability for formal inspection reports or quality assurance workflows.
Measurement Limits and Proposition 65 Notice
Pinless measurement ranges top out at 99.9 percent for wood and 56.5 percent for non-wooden building materials. The one-inch maximum depth restricts assessment of thicker timbers or insulated assemblies. Pin-based measurement is not supported, so the meter cannot verify core moisture in dense stock. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm risks.

Questions about this item
Will the pinless sensor need periodic recalibration to stay accurate?
The MS120 ships without a calibration certificate, so plan on sending it to a lab or using a verified reference material if your workflow requires documented accuracy.
What moisture range can the pinless mode measure before it tops out?
Pinless readings stop at 56.5 % for non-wood building materials and at 99.9 % for wood, so very wet substrates will read at the ceiling.
Does the NFC interface or the audio alert add noticeable drain during all-day scanning?
NFC only activates when tapped and the sound alert draws minimal current; the low-battery indicator is the main gauge of remaining run time.
