A compact handheld ultrasonic pulse velocity and pulse echo tester designed for ultrasonic thickness measurements and flaw detection of concrete, reinforced concrete constructions, and rocks. The device is a compact electronic unit equipped with a large high-contrast TFT display and a keyboard. Despite its multifunctionality, the instrument is easy to use due to its intuitive interface and icon-based menu, providing quick access to main settings and functions.
Ergonomic design and light weight (as little as 800 grams), as well as the capability of fastening the electronic unit in a specialized pad, provide convenient operation in hard-to-reach areas and allow working at height. All inspection results are recorded into the instrument’s memory and can be transferred via USB-port to an external PC for further processing, registration, and archiving.
Exploitation:
- Using one low frequency dry point contact antenna array M2502 0.05A0R100Х60PS with shear wave and nominal frequency 50 kHz allows thickness measurement of concrete objects up to 3,000 mm and reinforced concrete objects up to 600 mm. The instrument allows the operator to search for internal foreign inclusions, cavities, voids, and cracks in products and constructions made of reinforced concrete, stone, and similar materials at one-sided access, as well as search for embedded flaws in bronze castings. It is possible to test the internal structure of coarse-grained materials. Inspection results include slice and projection images by grid-scan function (B-Scan, C-Scan, D-Scan, thickness-profile) using visualization software INTROVIEW.
