Ir analyzers state of the art impedance surveys test both capacitance and resistance for the most accurate results in a wide range of materials and constructions. The grid pattern is typically 5 to 10 feet apart. Moisture surveys are conducted using a prelocated grid pattern throughout the roof area at which the device is placed and readings are recorded.
