A method of evaluation of the range of influence of the surface TDR sensor Available to Purchase

The Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is an electric technique of moisture detection, that can be successfully applied in engineering. It has been previously used in soil science for quick and quantitative estimation of soil moisture and monitoring of moisture processes in the soils. Within the last decade it has been developed and adopted to measure moisture in building materials and structures. New constructions of the TDR sensors enable non-invasive testing, which is especially important for the examination of existing buildings made of brick or concrete, but also for monitoring of moisture processes that occur in the building material samples in laboratory conditions. This article is a comparison of measuring parameters of the traditional FP/mts sensor and the non-invasive TDR sensors to be applied in evaluation of moisture in the building materials and partitions.
