Flir MR176 Thermo imaging Moisture meter FLIR MOISTURE METER

[@RedwoodTheElf]

So I'm guessing that the thermal imaging could show you where moisture is likely, since moisture evaporation would tend to cool down that part of the wall, and you could then double check by pressing the meter on that part of the wall?

[@migueltorres79]

Yes. If you turn the meter to the moisture meter mode it will show you the percentage of wetness on the wall

I just bought one , could you please show us a tutorial about sittings you are using? Thank you bro

[@rixwar3711]

Thanks brother! i do mold assessment thinking of using this tool.

[@migueltorres79]

This tool is great for finding the water

[@StrugglerIndeed]

What do the meter figures actually mean or reflect? Certainly the area you were in was substantially wet, but what do those numbers mean exactly? Thanks!

[@migueltorres79]

Lemt me try my best here buddy. First number on top is the wetness of the moisture meter sensor on the back of the meter Then it's the temperature of the room DEW is dew point of the area it is reading MIX gpp is grains per pound. (I never have to use this option but feel free ro read up on it on the flir website And I think the VAP is vapor pressure. I also don't use this option. Hope this is helpful

Hello, I just bought one and I would like to know the temperature and relative humidity sensor has to change every how long? thank you

[@migueltorres79]

If you don't drop it. They last a very long time. 5 years on some and some that have been dropped less

[@nittlenits101]

Can this pinpoint water lines hot or cold in the walls?

[@migueltorres79]

No

[@MrAnton0628]

at what distance does it detect moisture?

[@migueltorres79]

On the moisture meter mode it has to be on the wall. On the infrared you can see what's colder and what's hotter pretty much as far as any wall in the room is

[@MrAnton0628]

@@migueltorres79 ok, but in infrared it is capable of measuring at a greater distance, or not.

[@migueltorres79]

Not really sure. Usually for infrared I use an flir e4 I think is the model #

[@AlbertoRamirez-qc9qh]

How do you calibrate it?

[@migueltorres79]

We've never really had to calibrate it. Not too sure

[@jbsanger696]
