FLIR MR60 Moisture Metre Pro (793950370605)

I purchased this MR60 meter a year ago and it is now due for calibration. I contacted Flir Tech support only to be told they do not have a facility in the UK for this service, I was told to contact a third party calibration lab, I contacted three labs and they all replied with the same answer, they could not calibrate this meter as Flir would not disclose the procedure and the specs, also i eventually found out the meter I received was 4 years old. So now I’m left with a meter I cannot trust and £360 out of pocket.

Purchased this after a fire in the apartment above mine and subsequent water damage. I needed to be able to test for moisture in the walls in order to work out what was wet and hence what would need to be dried out and where there might later be mold growth. This is a professional grade tool which the remediation expert (the people called in by the insurance company to check for water damage and then deal with it) noted was as good as the tool he used. It's well built, comes with a decent warranty and did the job I needed reliably. I was initially a little confused as to how to use it. In reading the manual again now, I realize that I only scratched the surface of what it can do. I had no idea that it has a thermal camera built in!!?! It also has an external pin probe attachment for measuring below the surface of wood and other softer materials, possibly where temperature is an issue. I would strongly recommend taking the ten minutes necessary to read the manual in order to get the most out of this product, BEFORE you use it. This will save you a bunch of dicking around and give you accurate results straight out of the gate. I have no idea how well this holds up to the kinds of professional moisture meters a professional carpenter would use, but given that this costs the same as a basic IR thermal camera, but has much more accurate surface measurement equipment, AND it will test different types of lumber as well , all for the price of a cheap thermal camera, it really can't be beaten. Highly recommended!

Just as described, quick shipping

Nicely made and sturdy but is very slow to react, if you have a number of readings to take you'll be there all day, the readout isn't anywhere near instant. I've reverted to using my old Electrophysics analogue meter as it's instant readout and therefore much faster

I use this meter during water damage assessment in the building inspection business. It is more powerful than many other meters I have used over the years and is equal to or better than my Trimex. My only disappointment is when shooting photos of the digital read out is the flash kills the numbers and you have to take off the flash. Great meter overall and do recommend it with all the options. Wish the deep wall probe came with the purchase.
