Moisture Mapping and Detection Methods

What is Moisture Mapping?

Moisture mapping is the process of creating a visual representation of the moisture content in a given area. This can be done using a variety of methods, including infrared imaging, capacitance, and resistance.

How does Moisture Detection Work?

• Infrared Imaging: This method uses a camera to detect infrared radiation, which is emitted by all objects. Wet objects emit more infrared radiation than dry objects, so infrared imaging can be used to create a visual representation of the moisture content in an area.
• Capacitance: This method uses a sensor to measure the capacitance between two electrodes. When the sensor is placed in contact with a wet surface, the capacitance increases. This increase in capacitance can be used to measure the moisture content of the surface.
• Resistance: This method uses a sensor to measure the resistance between two electrodes. When the sensor is placed in contact with a wet surface, the resistance decreases. This decrease in resistance can be used to measure the moisture content of the surface.
