Canin +

Introduction

Proceq introduces the fastest Corrosion Analyzing Instrument. Reinforced concrete will invariably be subjected to a corrosion process that ultimately leads to a total failure of the structure. Accurate field potential measurements aid in detecting corrosion in rebars. Corrosion of steel in concrete is an electrochemical process. A potential field can be measured on the concrete surface by the use of an electrode, known as a half-cell and a high-impedance voltmeter. The Canin + Corrosion Analyzing Instrument highlights corrosion activity before rust becomes visible. Early detection is a key factor in preventing an unanticipated structural failure.

Application

In contrast to spot checks of carbonation depth and chloride penetration, the Canin + system with the new Wheel Electrode allows a rapid, comprehensive test of the site and provides a fast assessment of locations where corrosion is likely to take place. Detailed analysis of the data is made easy with the Canin ProVista software. The new Wheel Electrodes (1 and 4-wheel versions) allow very fast measurements of large areas. Canin+ is ideally suited for assessment of corrosion potentials on large areas of 8,000 m +- (83,000 sq.ft.) or multiples thereof, depending on the individual selectable grid size. 235,000 values can be stored in the indicating device. Up to 240 measurement values are displayed at a time in easy-to-read grey-scale allowing an on-site plausibility check of the readings. A menu-driven approach facilitates simple operation using just nine keys. The display with backlight allows the user to work on sites with low visibility, e.g. underground car-parks.

DigiSchmidt

Introduction

Concrete test hammer Non-destructive measurement of the concrete compressive strength and control of the uniform concrete quality (in-situ concrete and prefabricated structures)

  • Detecting weak spots
  • Data-Transfer to PC/printer
  • Data Evaluation with ProVista Software

Features

By entering the depth of carbonation, the conversion of rebound value to the compressive strength is automaticallycompensated.The classic ORIGINAL SCHMIDT concrete test hammer is equipped with a sensor which measures the rebound value of a test impact to a high resolution and repeatability. Basic settings and measured values are shown on the display unit. Operating is menu-guided in different languages.The measuring data can be transmitted easily by the serial RS 232 or via USB with adapter USB/ RS 232 to a normal printer or to a PC/Laptop with the window based software ProVista. Wrongly set parameters (like impact direction) can be corrected after the transmission on the PC/Laptop.

 


DYNA PULL OFF TESTER - DY2

Introduction

Pull-off testing is one of the most widely used test methods in the construction industry. This is reflected in the huge number of standards dedicated to the method.It has long been known that one of the major influences on the result of a pull-off test is the operator influence in the application of a constant load rate. The DY-2 with its integrated, feedback controlled motor removes this variable completely, by providing a fully automated test at a constant load rate which can be verified.

Features

The DY-2 is further unique in that it records every single test parameter required by the specification.
  • Time and date of the test
  • Test disc size
  • Maximum load applied
  • Automatic calculation of bond strength
  • Applied load rate with graphical record
  • Complete time of test
  • Failure mode
For the very first time, the operator is able to provide acomplete record of the pull-off test, proving that the test was carried out in accordance with the applicable standard.

Hygropin Sales Unit

Introduction

The perfect solution to identify and monitor moisture in concrete.Due to the small, fast sensor of the hygropin, diagnosing moisture according to ASTM F2170-09 is quicker and easier than ever before.The relative humidity test outlined by ASTM F2170-09 requires placing a measuring sleeve at a specific, well defined depth in the concrete. This can be done either by drilling a hole or by pre-installing cast holes in fresh concrete. Proceq offers the best solution for both procedures. The Hygropin provides the smallest available sensor on the market, minimising damage to the surface and reducing the installation efforts immensely. Due to the small air volume of the test sleeve, the humidity equilibrium process is extremely fast.

Features

Depending on the settings the Hygropin is able to display:
  • Relative humidity and temperature measured by two probes
  • Calculate psychrometric parameters like dew / frost point etc. for both probes
  • Difference between the values measured by the two probes
  • Trend indicators for each parameter

Resipod

Introduction

The advanced Resipod family offers a complete solution for measuring the electrical resistivity of concrete both in the laboratory under controlled conditions and on site. The construction industry is rapidly moving towards performance based specifications for concrete durability and this is largely determined by the permeability of the concrete. The electrical resistivity of concrete is determined by the resistivity of fluid in the pores, the pore structure and the degree of saturation. It is therefore directly related to the permeability of the concrete. All of these factors are affected by construction practice and this makes electrical resistivity an ideal test method for use in quality control programs and performance based specifications.

Features

  • Fully integrated surface resistivity instrument
  • Highest resolution available for a surface resistivity instrument (+- 0.2 k?cm possible with the full 200μA nominal current)
  • Surface resistivity (SR) and bulk resistivity (BR) test configurations available
  • Variable spaced probe version with the automatic correction for sample geometry
  • Hold, save and delete function, with on-board memory
  • USB connection and dedicated PC software
  • Designed to float (waterproof)

  • A large number of measurement points can be easily collected by the concrete test hammer and automatically evaluated according to statistical data
  • The concrete test hammer offers automatic conversion to the required measurement unit (MPa, N/mm2, kg/cm2, psi)
 


Torrent

Introduction

The particular featuresof the TORRENT method are a two-chamber vacuum cell and a pressure regulator, which ensure that an air flow at right angles to the surface is directed towards the inner chamber. This permits the calculation of the permeability coefficient kT on the basis of a simple theoretical model. The unit has a user-friendly menu technique and measures the pressure increase as a function of time according to a specific sequence. The associated data is automatically collected by the display unit and the permeability coefficient kT and the depth of penetration L of the vacuum are calculated. The measurement takes 2-12 minutes, depending on the permeability of the concrete. In the case of dry concrete, the quality class of the concrete cover can be read from a table using the kT value. In the case of moist concrete, kT is combined with the electrical concrete resistance ?(rho) and the quality class is determined from a nomogram.
