Proceq Pundit Lab+ UPV Instrument without Transducers

Pundit Lab+ UPV Instrument

The Pundit Lab+ UPV Instrument is a highly advanced, non-destructive testing device for assessing the quality and integrity of concrete. Sharing identical features with the Proceq Pundit Lab+ UPV Instrument, this version does not include transducers, allowing users to select transducers best suited for their specific applications.

This state-of-the-art instrument offers comprehensive online data acquisition, waveform analysis, and complete remote control over all transmission parameters and data logging functions. A key feature is its integrated gain stage, which intelligently amplifies signals, eliminating the need for an external amplifier even when utilizing extended cables for measurements. To ensure precision, a real-time measurement stamp meticulously records the exact time of each measurement, and an intuitive data review list provides immediate on-site verification on the crisp 3-inch OLED display. The device boasts substantial onboard data storage, capable of capturing over 500 readings. Connectivity is seamless via its USB interface, and the included Pundit Link Analysis software facilitates in-depth analysis or straightforward export to spreadsheet applications. For flexible power options, the instrument can be operated with rechargeable batteries or directly via a PC through its USB cable.

Proceq Pundit Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Instruments are renowned for their accuracy and reliability in evaluating concrete quality. They operate by transmitting and receiving timed ultrasonic energy pulses through the concrete. The time taken for this signal to traverse the concrete provides critical data for determining its homogeneity and integrity. Pulse velocity measurements are invaluable for assessing concrete uniformity, precisely detecting internal cracks and voids, monitoring changes in material properties over time, and establishing dynamic physical characteristics. Furthermore, compressive strength can be estimated using the advanced SONREB (SONic-REBound) method, which combines ultrasonic pulse velocity readings with rebound values obtained from a Schmidt concrete test hammer. The instrument supports various measurement modes, including precise crack depth analysis, pulse velocity determination, surface velocity measurements, robust data logging, and E-modulus calculations. A wide selection of additional transducers is available to customize the instrument for greater depth of penetration or enhanced resolution based on project requirements.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Comprehensive Measurement Modes: Perform transit time, pulse velocity, path length, surface velocity, and accurate crack depth measurements.
