Moisture Mapping A Guide to Detection Methods

Moisture mapping is a crucial process in various industries, including construction, restoration, and insurance. It involves identifying and measuring moisture levels within a structure or material.

How does Moisture Detection Work?

Moisture detection methods rely on different principles and technologies to measure moisture levels.

  • Capacitive Sensors: These sensors measure the change in capacitance between two electrodes when moisture is present.
  • Electrical Resistance Sensors: These sensors detect changes in electrical resistance caused by moisture absorption.
  • Infrared Thermography: Infrared cameras capture temperature variations that indicate moisture presence.
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): NMR instruments generate magnetic fields to measure the hydrogen content, which is associated with moisture.

The choice of detection method depends on factors such as the type of material, the moisture distribution, and the desired accuracy.
