FLIR Moisture Meters
A moisture meter is an instrument that measures the moisture content in various materials. Devices like the FLIR MR60, FLIR MR77, or FLIR MR277 detect moisture levels in building materials, such as wood, plasterboard (Gyprock), concrete, and more. FLIR specialises in thermal imaging cameras, and their moisture meters often incorporate these technologies.
Here are some features of moisture meters:
-
Pin and Pinless Sensors: Some moisture meters have pins that need to be inserted into the material for measurement, while others use pinless sensors that don't require penetration. The FLIR models often come with both options, allowing for more versatility.
-
Moisture Level Detection: They measure the moisture content in materials and display the moisture percentage. This is useful to check for water damage, the drying process, or to ensure that materials like wood are at an appropriate moisture level before use in construction.
-
Infrared and Thermal Imaging: Devices like the FLIR MR277 incorporate thermal imaging, allowing users to visually see temperature differences in materials, which can indicate moisture content. This is especially useful for locating moisture in areas not visible to the naked eye.
-
Data Logging and Wireless Connectivity: Higher-end models often have features like data logging for recording measurements over time and Bluetooth connectivity for easy data transfer to other devices or software.
-
Built-in Laser Pointer and Display Screen: Some moisture meters have built-in laser pointers to help accurately target the area to be measured. They also usually have an LCD for easy reading of measurements.
-
Various Material Settings: They allow users to select different types of materials on the device, as different materials have different properties regarding moisture absorption and retention.
-
Build Quality and Portability: Typically, moisture meters like those produced by FLIR are designed to be durable and portable so they can be easily used in various environments.
A moisture meter like the FLIR MR60, MR77, or MR277 is an essential tool for professionals in construction, restoration, inspection, and other industries to effectively measure and analyse the moisture content in materials.
