Concrete Quality
Assessment
Evaluation of concrete quality, compressive strength and homogeneity using ultrasonic pulse velocity.
A1410 PULSAR
A1410 PULSAR
The world-first ultrasonic pulse velocity testing instrument for couplant-free on-site quality assessment of concrete structures with up to 2 meters thru-transmission capability.
Description
A compact, ergonomic and easy to handheld ultrasonic pulse velocity tester for quality assessment of concrete compliant with valid international standards.
The instrument is made of light-weight shockproof plastic and operates two dry-point-contact transducer arraysfor through-transmitting up to 2 meters of concrete. Wear resistant wearproof ceramic tips of the transducers are insensitive to the surface condition and allow comfortable and robust operation on site by arbitrary surface condition. Hence, there is no need to apply coupling gel to prepare object surface for testing.
The device possesses non-volatile memory allowing storing of 50.000 measurements(the results can be grouped) and USB port for transferring measured data to the external PC.
