Prdceq UPV: Proceq Pundit Lab+ Instrument

CT-133 Pundit Lab+ UPV Instrument features online data acquisition, waveform analysis, and remote control of all transmission parameters and data logging functionality. An integrated gain stage eliminates the need for an external amplifier when using long cables. A real-time measurement stamp captures the precise measurement time and the data review list provides an on-site review on the 3in OLED display. On-board data storage captures up to 500 readings. A USB interface and Pundit Link Analysis software allow analysis or export to spreadsheet applications. Power is supplied with rechargeable batteries or by PC via USB cable.

Proceq Pundit Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Instruments provide an accurate and reliable means of assessing the quality of concrete. Transmission and receiving transducers send and receive a timed pulse of ultrasonic energy through the concrete to be tested. The time the signal takes to get through the concrete is used to determine its homogeneity and integrity. Pulse velocity measurements measure concrete uniformity, detect cracks and voids, track changes over time, and determine dynamic physical properties. Compressive strength can be estimated using the SONREB (SONic-REBound) method, the combined ultrasonic pulse velocity/rebound value from a Schmidt concrete test hammer. Measurement modes include crack depth, pulse velocity, surface velocity, data logging, and E-modulus. A range of additional transducers is available to allow more depth of penetration or better resolution.
