Infrared Moisture Detection 

A circle logo with a gradient outer edge with oranges, reds, and purples to mimic the iron scale on infrared cameras. The text wrapping around the edge reading "Infrared Moisture Detection" and "Monroe Infrared". The center has the letters IMD for Infrared Moisture Detection with white text, navy blue background, and each letter has a red outline.

This 8-hour course is designed to familiarize you with basic heat transfer concepts and the limitations and capabilities of today’s thermal imaging systems. We will then cover the settings in the camera menus. Lastly, we will discuss the requirements and conditions needed to find and locate moisture/water using thermal imaging systems.

 

  • This is a one-day class to deliver the knowledge needed to utilize an infrared camera to detect moisture in building components.
  • We will discuss and explore those conditions that will not yield results so that we know what to avoid.
  • We will explore emissivity, reflectivity, the evaporative cooling effect, thermal capacitance, and many more conditions that make moisture detectable.
  • We will discuss and train you on the settings in today’s cameras that will lead to a more thorough analysis.
  • We will also discuss and share many images and discuss how to interpret and report those issues found.
  • Hands-on camera operation and actual moisture detection to finish out the day.

The Infrared Moisture Detection class is Day 1 only of the 2-Day CRT Course (or a dedicated 1-Day IMD class on its own) to learn the basic science of thermography as it is used to detect moisture in building components.

 

 

CRT & IMD Class Schedule

 

 

CANCELLATION POLICY: All course fees must be paid prior to the beginning of class. Please notify Monroe Infrared if you are unable to attend a course you’re registered to attend. Students can change their registration to another Monroe Infrared class of equal or greater value without penalty up to 5 business days before the course begins. With fewer than 5 business days’ notice changes are subject to a 25% change fee. Monroe Infrared cannot honor change requests received after the start of class.  Once training manuals are shipped no refunds are granted. Students can transfer to a different class to be completed within 12 months from the original scheduled class date. Students are encouraged to transfer to an alternate class instead of canceling their registration.  If a refund is requested and approved the amount refunded will be the original registration fee minus any non-refundable credit card fees.
Should Monroe Infrared postpone a course due to instructor illness, weather, or any other reason, all registrants will be notified as early as possible. Monroe Infrared’s liability will be limited to rescheduling of the class in a reasonable time or the return of the registration fee minus credit card processing fees if no alternative scheduled training date is occurring. Registrants are advised not to purchase non-refundable or non-changeable airline tickets or hotel accommodations as Monroe Infrared will not be responsible for payment of rescheduling/cancellation charges due to class changes.
