Vector Mapping Roof

Ild is the world leader in electric field vector mapping efvm technology we created it.

Vector mapping roof.

One lead from a pulse generator is connected to this wire loop perimeter. Over the years we have used many forms of interpretive testing methods such as infrared thermography capacitance testing hygrometers vector mapping sampling etc and found them all to have too many limitations. Efvm is unique in its ability to test the integrity of waterproofing membranes. The vmg is a specially selected stainless steel grid that serves as a patented conductive medium when used with roofing waterproofing systems that incorporate electric field vector mapping efvm leak detection systems.

Low voltage vector mapping. 3 vector mapping felt vmf a non abrasive conductive fabric that can be used under a loosely laid or mechanically fastened roof assembly and embedded into hot liquid membrane systems. A conductive wire loop is laid on the membrane around a section of the area to be tested. Efvm is a low voltage leak test method that creates an electrical potential difference between a non conductive membrane surface and conductive structural deck or substrate which is earthed or grounded.

Electronic field vector mapping is becoming one of the most popular forms of quality control testing for architects contractors and building owners. By performing the hv test first we find most or all of the puncture type anomalies which may or may not be evident to the naked eye. Electrical field vector mapping efvm is suitable for electrically conductive and electrically grounded roof decks such as steel and reinforced concrete roofs efvm can be used on wooden roofs or precast concrete slab roofs if a conductive layer of metal foil or mesh is applied to the roof deck before the waterproofing layer is installed. The decision to use efvm must therefore be.

As a roofing contractor for 38 years we understand how critical accurate electronic leak detection is for our clients. In low voltage vector mapping the surface of the roof membrane is moistened not flooded to create an electrically conductive medium. The electrical signal from the perimeter cable loop searches for an electrical path over the wet area of the roof to any breach within the wetted area thus completing the circuit to the. Nationwide since 1984 electronic vector mapping is a cutting edge technology that is redefin ing the art of leak detection and quality assurance in low slope roofing and waterproofing systems.
