Orion Wood Moisture Meters
Fast, Accurate, and Non-Damaging Pinless Moisture Meters with “On-Site” Calibration.
POWERFUL FEATURES
Fast & Highly Accurate Moisture Readings
Features accuracy, versatility, and quality that you have come to expect from Wagner Meters for over 55 years.
Non-Damaging
Pinless technology: a non-damaging way to quickly and accurately measure the moisture content of the wood.
On-Site Calibration
Orion meters come with a factory paired On-Demand Calibrator that is specific to your moisture meter.
EMC Calculation
The Orion 950 can calculate equilibrium moisture content, which will tell you when your wood floor or projects are ready.
Accurate Readings
Orion non-damaging pinless meters quickly and accurately read moisture content levels in wood and other materials.
7-Year Warranty
Wagner Meters is proud to include the Orion line of pinless meters within our Genuine Wagner 7-Year Warranty program: the longest-lasting warranty in the industry.
Data Collection
The Orion 940 and 950 can collect data in two modes, manual or automatic. Both provide data storage up to 100 readings and include high-low-average analysis.
Relative Moisture Mode
The Orion 940 and 950 can collect data in two modes, manual or automatic. Both provide data storage up to 100 readings and include high-low-average analysis.
Dual Depth
The Orion 930, 940, and 950 provide readings at ¼” and ¾” depth modes to measure the moisture content of thin or thick wood samples.
Get the Most Out of Your Wood Moisture Meter
The accuracy of moisture meter readings depends on the quality of the meter and its proper use. Wagner moisture meters offer accurate and repeatable wood moisture content readings. Orion pinless moisture meters measures moisture content IN the wood and not ON the wood.
Speed
You can take readings 3 times faster than pin meters. This allows woodworkers to have time to take enough readings to get a complete picture of the wood’s moisture level.
State of the Art
The accuracy of moisture meter readings depends on the quality of the wood moisture meter and its proper use.
Reliability
All four independent studies, commissioned by Wagner Meters, found that Wagner Meter pinless wood moisture meters were consistently and reliably more accurate in assessing wood moisture content than any of the meters they were tested against.

Client Testimonials
Can’t tell you how great this tool is. Had a slab air dried for six years and was about to build a desk for a client. Put the meter on it and was waaaaaay too wet (30%+) Confirmed reading at my local lumber supplier and got them to kiln dry it. All good now, disaster averted!
I’ve been using a pin meter and thought I was getting fairly accurate readings. When my last table I made curled on the end, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the 910. The reading on the PIN meter read 7.8. When I read it with the 910 it was 16.4. If I had gone with the PIN meter and gone ahead and made the table, I’d have the same problem. So glad I made the purchase.
I have a saw mill and a woodworking shop. In the past, I simply let wood dry a couple of years in a barn. I bought the meter so I could shorten that time. What I like about the 950 is that it calculates the theoretical equilibrium moisture content. That is, for the temperature and humidity conditions where the wood is stored, what would the lowest moisture to which the wood can dry. With this info, I can increase temperature and/or decrease humidity to reach my target moisture content in a shorter time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Orion pinless moisture meter?
The Orion is a pinless wood moisture meter. With its enhanced electronic technology that avoids the use of damaging pins, every Orion series meter is built to take high-speed, accurate, and reliable moisture content readings.
How does an Orion moisture meter work?
Orion meters send out electrical waves at a certain frequency that creates an electromagnetic field in the area under the sensor pad. Pinless meters typically test a much larger area than pin-style meters and can “scan” the wood for a more comprehensive moisture content reading.
What is the best Orion moisture meter to buy?
Well, it all depends on what you’re looking for as far as meters go. If you need dual depth measurement you will want the 930, 940, or 950. If you want to calculate EMC you will want the 950. Most people prefer the 950 because of all the quality features. Again, it all depends on your needs, but any Orion is a great choice.
