Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test instrument to examine the quality of concrete to EN12504-4, ASTM C 597-02, BS 1881 Part 203, ISO1920-7:2004

• Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test instrument to examine the quality of concrete and other materials such as rock, wood and ceramics.
• It provides an extended range of measurement modes and superior features for on-site testing: Assess the concrete uniformity using standard A-Scans, Line Scans and the new Area Scan functionality, estimate the compressive strength of concrete or measure the surface velocity and the depth of perpendicular cracks.
• The Data Logging measurement mode allows the automation of long-term measurements.
• The intelligent software supports directly accessible settings in real time from the measuring screen.
• The highest resolution and sharpest image available in the market allows best possible analysis of the measured waveforms.

Features

• Line scans for concrete uniformity assessment
• Zoom and scroll for precise A-Scan inspection
• Area Scan Mode extends the possibilities for uniformity testing of larger structures
• Data logging allows the automation of long-term measurements
• E-Modulus measuring mode to determine the Poisson’s Ratio of materials
• On board storage and review of waveforms
• Settings directly accessible on measuring screen
• Dual cursor for manual A-Scan evaluation
• Separate cursor to measure signal amplitude
• Improved surface velocity measurement
• Automatic and manual triggering and user adjustable trigger threshold
• A-Scan update rate up to 25 Hz

Comprehensive Measurement Modes

Line Scans

• Assesses the concrete uniformity and detects cracks as well as other defects.
• The measured pulse velocities are displayed as a line.

Pulse Velocity

• Calculates the pulse velocity of the material under test.

Compressive Strength

• Determines the compressive strength using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity correlation, or by using SONREB.

Crack Depth

• Determines the depth of perpendicular cracks according to BS 1881.

Surface Velocity

• Determines surface velocity according to BS 1881.

Transmission Time

• Measures the transmission time.

Distance

• Calculates the distance between the transducers.

Additional Measurement Modes

E-Modulus

Determine the dynamic E-Modulus of a material (e.g. concrete or rock) by measuring P- and S-wave pulse velocities.

• Direct calculation of the E-Modulus on the instrument
• Measure P- and S-wave velocities on the same screen (Dual Cursor)
• Poisson’s Ratio also calculated on PL-Link software

Data Logging

Set up automated test sequences for long term measuring applications.

• Countdown timer indicates time to next measurement
• Pulse velocity development shown graphically on screen

Area Scan

2D-visualization for uniformity testing on structural elements.

• User definable colour classification based on pulse velocity or transmission time
• User definable grid pattern for small to large scale measurements
• All measurements can be edited (deleted, re-measured)
