Elcometer 331 Cover Meter B

Elcometer 331 Cover Meter B with Rebar Measurement

Elcometer 331 Series Concrete Cover Meters combine the latest technology with proven reliability. The Cover Meters locate rebar, depth and orientation in reinforced concrete structures with a large backlit graphics display and signal strength bar. Audible location signal has adjustable volume. Meets or exceeds requirements for accuracy so you get accurate concrete cover measurements.

Easy to use menus. Interchangeable lithium-ion batteries give up to 32 hours of continuous use and are rechargeable. Rugged waterproof ABS plastic case meets IP 65. Bar size ranges are selectable between USA (Imperial), metric, ASTM/Canadian and Japanese. Comes with battery pack and charger, shoulder harness and manual. AC charger is 115V/60HZ or 230V/50HZ and will adapt to most other power supplies and outlets.

Search Heads are interchangeable and required for use with Elcometer Cover Meters. Standard Search Head detects larger steel reinforcement bars, Narrow Pitch and Deep Cover Search Heads detect better resolution or wider range. Additional search heads and probes, extension arm, spare battery pack and calibration test block for both Covermeter models are available separately.

RL-101 Elcometer Cover Meter B is a basic meter for rebar location, orientation and depth. This unit is similar to more advanced meters but has no memory, bar-sizing or download capabilities. RLA-8 Standard Search Head included. Additional heads and other accessories available.

RL-102A Elcometer Cover Meter SH locates rebar location, orientation and depth. Additional features include memory for 10 batches of 1,000 readings each and auto and manual bar sizing. This model can take Half-Cell Probes to measure rebar corrosion potential; probes are interchangeable with Search Heads. Audible low concrete cover alert and Maxpip™ tone for increased accuracy in location is standard on this model. RL-102A has RS 232 output and comes with Covermaster™ software for data downloading, analysis and report generation and PC/Printer cable. Search heads are not included with the Cover Meter SH and are purchased separately. This model also measures rebar diameter and gives precise rebar  diameter values.

Advanced visualization tools in Covermaster™ software include heat maps and rebars to help with data interpretation and structural assessments.

What are Cover Meters

Concrete cover meters are instruments designed to locate and measure the concrete cover of steel reinforcement bars (rebars) in reinforced concrete structures. They are a critical tool to ensure the structural integrity and safety of buildings, bridges and other infrastructure. By measuring the concrete cover accurately, concrete cover meters prevent rebar damage, reduce corrosion risk and ensure compliance with building codes and regulations. With technology advancing, modern concrete cover meters now have 2D imaging, heat maps and data analytics, making them an essential tool for construction professionals.

Key Features and Benefits

Concrete cover meters have several key features and benefits that make them a must have in the construction industry. These include:

• Concrete cover and rebar diameter measurement

• Rebar detection and location, ferrous and non-ferrous metals

• Heat maps and 2D imaging

• Data analytics and reporting

• Ergonomic case for use in dark environments

• Multiple language support

The benefits are:

• Structural integrity and safety of buildings and infrastructure

• Rebar damage prevention and corrosion risk reduction

• Building codes and regulations compliance

• Construction efficiency and cost reduction

• Collaboration and communication among construction professionals

Applications and Industries

Concrete cover meters are used in:

• Construction: building, bridge, infrastructure

• Civil engineering: structural inspection and monitoring

• Architecture: building design and planning

• Maintenance and repair: rebar detection and repair

• Quality control: building codes and regulations compliance

Concrete cover meters are used in:

• Buildings: residential, commercial, industrial

• Bridges: highway, railway, pedestrian

• Infrastructure: roads, highways, airports

• Industrial facilities: power plants, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities

By using concrete cover meters construction professionals can ensure structural integrity and safety of buildings and infrastructure and construction efficiency and cost reduction.
