Which sensor should you use?
It depends on the application. The pad sensor is the only choice for measuring surface
moisture of materials like finished wood, paint or wallpaper that cannot be marred by
pinholes. If measurement accuracy is important, the pin sensor is the better option
because pins can detect moisture below the surface that the pad sensor cannot.
However, for hard materials like wood or concrete, the meter's readings mostly
represent surface moisture content. For softer materials like soil, paper or powders,
readings are more likely to reflect the average moisture level of the material between
its surface and the penetration depth of the pins.
