Unlike solid wood, oriented strand board absorbs moisture at the edges and face faster than it releases it , and once it starts swelling, there's no going back. By the time the buckling shows on a roof deck or a subfloor, the sheathing is already compromised. A moisture meter built for OSB has to read what's happening \u003cem\u003einside\u003c\/em\u003e the panel, not just on its surface. This pinless spherical detector does exactly that, reaching 20–40mm deep without puncturing a single strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta
