Introduction R&D MT-19 Wall Moisture Meter

The R&D MT-19 Wall Moisture Meter is a professional-grade digital instrument that lets contractors, engineers, and homeowners detect hidden moisture in walls, wood, gypsum, and concrete with confidence. Moisture damage costs Bangladeshi property owners millions of taka every year — and most of that damage starts invisibly, inside walls you cannot see. The R&D MT-19 Wall Moisture Meter solves that problem by delivering fast, accurate moisture readings through its precision dual-pin probe, so you can find the problem before it finds you.

Whether you inspect a newly plastered apartment in Dhaka, check timber framing for a factory, or assess flood-affected walls after a monsoon, the R&D MT-19 gives you reliable data in seconds. Its bright backlit LCD, wide measurement range of 0–99.9%, and compact ergonomic body make it one of the most practical moisture meters you can carry on a job site.

Who Uses This

1. Civil Engineers & Contractors— Engineers use the R&D MT-19 Wall Moisture Meter to verify wall dryness before paint application or tile work, avoiding costly rework on construction projects.
2. Building Inspectors— Inspectors carry the MT-19 to conduct rapid moisture surveys across multiple rooms and quickly flag high-risk areas in their reports.
3. Real Estate Professionals— Property buyers and real estate agents use the device during pre-purchase inspections to negotiate or reject properties with hidden water damage.
4. Furniture Manufacturers & Carpenters— Woodworkers rely on the MT-19 to confirm timber moisture content before cutting, joining, or finishing — preventing warping and joint failure.
5. Homeowners— Homeowners use the meter after monsoon flooding or roof leaks to locate wet patches inside walls before calling a repair team, saving unnecessary labour charges.
6. Facility Managers— Facility teams in hospitals, hotels, and factories use the MT-19 for routine preventive maintenance, catching moisture problems before mold growth begins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What materials can the R&D MT-19 Wall Moisture Meter measure?

A: The MT-19 measures moisture content in walls (plaster and masonry), wood, gypsum board, and concrete. Insert the dual-pin probe directly into the material surface to get a reading.

Q: What does a high reading on the MT-19 indicate?

A: A reading above 20% MC in wood typically signals excessive moisture that can cause warping or rot. For walls and concrete, readings above 18–20% suggest active water infiltration that requires investigation.

Q: Does the R&D MT-19 work on painted or tiled surfaces?

A: The pin-type probe requires direct contact with the base material. For painted walls, press the pins firmly through the paint layer. For tiled surfaces, use a grout joint or an exposed edge to access the substrate.

Q: Can the MT-19 detect moisture behind a finished wall without drilling?

A: The pin-type probe measures moisture at the point of contact, so it works best on exposed surfaces or through small pin holes. For non-destructive scanning through finished walls, a non-contact meter is more appropriate.

Q: Is the R&D MT-19 suitable for use in Bangladesh’s humid climate?

A: Yes. The operating range of 0°C–50°C and 10–85% RH covers Bangladesh’s typical climate. Store the device below 85% RH and away from direct monsoon exposure when not in use.
