Dec Scanner
The Dec Scanner is ideal for carrying out moisture testing to ASTM D7954.
Non-Destructive Electrical Impedance Scanner
The Dec Scanner is ideal for carrying out moisture testing to ASTM D7954, designed to perform instant, continuous scanning over a large roof area while being able to detect as little as 2% excess moisture to a depth of up to 6 inches, covering as much as 100,000sq ft in a normal working day. Multiple ranges of sensitivity provide the capability to scan a wide range of roof construction types, allowing inspection of even very thin structures. There is no need for a special permit and transport by road or by air is simple with our flight ready case.
