What is Moisture Mapping?
Moisture mapping involves the comprehensive analysis and assessment of moisture content within a structure or materials. It plays a critical role in construction, restoration, and maintenance, providing valuable insights into moisture levels and patterns.
Moisture Analysis and Measurement
Accurate moisture measurements are crucial for effective moisture mapping.
Official Methods of Moisture Content Determination
*
Gravimetric Method: Measurement of moisture content through sample drying and weight monitoring.
*
Electrical Impedance Method: Measurement of resistance or impedance between electrodes in contact with the material.
*
Nuclear Moisture-Density Gauge: Non-destructive measurement of moisture content using radiation-based technology.
*
Infrared Thermography: Determination of moisture distribution based on temperature differences detected by infrared imaging.
