FLIR MR176 Moisture Meter Pro Kit

The FLIR MR176 Moisture Meter Pro Kit includes the MR176 thermal imaging moisture and humidity meter supplied with a spare MR01 replaceable temperature/humidity sensor, and the MR08 hammer probe. This makes the kit ideal for efficiently checking moisture conditions by targeting inspections as well as checking air temperature and humidity conditions.

The FLIR MR176 Moisture Meter measures moisture content in wood, building materials and other substances via both destructive and non-destructive techniques. An integrated sensor can penetrate up to 1.9cm into materials to take a pre-set relative reading from 0 to 100 whilst the meter is also fully compatible with a range of pin probes. An exchangeable humidity sensor can also be used to measure atmospheric conditions and calculate values such as dew point, wet bulb, vapour pressure and mixing ratio.

The thermal imaging capabilities of the FLIR MR176 are ideal for finding areas where a moisture inspection might be needed. It has an 80 x 60 pixel thermal sensor that provides thermal images in a range of palettes across a 51° x 38° field of view. By finding anomalous surface temperature patterns, the user can spot possible leaks and dampness that will need investigation, thus pinpointing measurements.

The FLIR MR02 Pin Probe contained within the MR176 Pro Kit can measure the moisture content of a large variety of wood species across two separate ranges (7% to 30%; and 30% to 100%). It is also capable of penetrating various building materials and providing moisture readings from 0% to 20%, thus building on the meter's pinless measurements.

To measure air temperature and relative humidity, a field-exchangeable FLIR MR01 humidity sensor is included in this kit. The sensor allows the user to measure relative humidity from 0 to 99% RH and air temperature from -28°C to 77°C which then facilitates calculation of dew point and wet bulb. It is ideal for gaining a complete picture of atmospheric moisture conditions.

The final major component of the FLIR MR176 Pro-Kit is the FLIR MR08 Hammer Probe. This versatile probe is suitable for a wide range of hammer and wall cavity applications thanks to its twin handles which allow the user to angle the pins. 2”, 4” and 6” pins are provided as standard and the probe is also suitable for drywall.

All of the parts of the FLIR MR176 Pro Kit are designed and built to an extremely high standard and the moisture meter benefits from FLIR's 2-10 year warranty. Other supplied accessories include a USB cable, universal charger, and instruction manual.
