Proceq Resipod Concrete Resistivity Meter, 2in (50mm)

Proceq Resipod Concrete Resistivity Meter, 2in (50mm)- Fast, Accurate Corrosion Testing

Concrete Testing

Concrete testing is a vital part of ensuring the quality and durability of structures. One of the important aspects of concrete testing is measuring electrical resistivity, which can give you valuable information about the concrete’s properties and behavior. Electrical resistivity is a measure of a material’s ability to resist the flow of electric current, and in the case of concrete, it can be used to test its resistance to chloride ion penetration, corrosion and other forms of degradation. By measuring the electrical resistivity of concrete accurately, you can predict potential issues and take preventive measures to extend the life and performance of concrete.

Proceq Resipod Concrete Resistivity Meter, 2" (50mm)

The Proceq Resipod measures the electrical resistivity of concrete surfaces, which correlates to the rate of fluid permeability and resistance to chloride ion penetration. It also provides accurate measurements of bulk and other words, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.Up to 500 readings are stored in the device. The software also helps in assessing the electrical conductivity of the concrete, which is important for understanding ionic movement and corrosion rate. User defined correction factors can be set in the software and uploaded to the device. This is useful for diagnosing corrosion rate issues in reinforced structures.

The one piece, handheld device has a rugged, IP67 rated waterproof housing and gives instant readings on a large 3.5 digit LCD display.

The Resipod is available in two models, ready to use for lab or field resistivity testing.

This concrete resistivity meter comes with 1.97in (50mm) probe spacing. The wider spacing allows for a larger sampling size but is still narrow enough to avoid interference from reinforcing steel in most cases.
