FLIR MR160 Imaging Moisture Meter - The Original Thermal Moisture Detector

  • See moisture like never before – Reveal hidden water damage instantly with built-in thermal imaging powered by IGM.
  • Work faster, cut costs – Pinpoint issues without destructive testing and confirm findings with integrated pinless and pin-based moisture detection.


The FLIR MR160 is the world‘s first imaging moisture meter with built-in thermal imaging—empowering contractors, inspectors, and facility teams to identify hidden moisture issues fast and with confidence. With advanced Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) technology, the FLIR MR160 allows you to pinpoint moisture problems accurately before they become costly repairs.

Unlike traditional meters, the FLIR MR160 visualises potential problem areas using a powerful 80 × 60 Lepton thermal imager. This means you can scan walls, ceilings, and floors for cold spots - often linked to moisture—before deciding where to test. Save time. Reduce guesswork. Avoid unnecessary damage.


Why Choose the FLIR MR160?

The FLIR MR160 is purpose-built for professionals who demand speed, accuracy, and visual clarity on every job. It’s rugged, reliable, and designed to handle tough environments—making it ideal for HVAC specialists, restoration crews, electricians, and facility maintenance teams.

Use the integrated pinless sensor for quick, non-invasive scans or switch to the included external pin probe for precise, contact-based readings. With its laser pointer and onscreen crosshairs, targeting trouble spots is easy—even in low light or high-clutter areas.

Captured data can be stored directly on the device, with thermal images overlaid with moisture readings—ready to download and document via free FLIR Tools reporting software.
