DECSCAN

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.

  • Designed for non-destructive testing of built up roofing
  • Able to detect as little as 2% excess moisture
  • Instantaneous, clear indications of roof conditions
  • 3 scales of operation for all non-conductive roof membranes
  • Continuous operation for uninterrupted coverage
  • Locates boundaries of wet areas in minutes
  • More than twice as fast as nuclear meters, able to test thinner roofs, and no license required
  • A fraction of the cost of airborne and on the roof infra-red systems
  • Easy to use, no training required
  • Dependable solid state circuitry and foam-lined aluminium sided flight case for long-term reliability
