Temperature\Relative Humidity Sensor with 1-meter Probe (30/Pk)

Introducing the VAKKA-HT1 Concrete Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor with a 1-meter Probe (30/Pk), the latest innovation in concrete monitoring technology designed to revolutionize how concrete curing processes are assessed and managed. This sensor offers unparalleled accuracy and reliability by continuously measuring relative humidity and temperature within concrete structures. It provides invaluable insights into the curing process, ensuring optimal strength development and durability conditions. Ideal for construction projects, infrastructure maintenance, and research applications, this cutting-edge sensor elevates the standard of concrete monitoring, enhancing quality control and prolonging the lifespan of concrete structures.

The engineers at HGCR have significantly improved the VAKKA 2.0. We've enhanced the sensor range, extended battery life, and increased data acquisition speed fivefold, allowing you to make faster decisions. Accuracy is paramount with all VAKKA sensors, ensuring dependable readings every time.

VAKKA is a durable, waterproof concrete sensor that wirelessly monitors environmental conditions within the concrete as it hardens. Install the sensor before concrete placement to record temperature and relative humidity. Our patent-pending environmental chamber is unique to the VAKKA system, enabling faster and more accurate readings. It quickly equalizes with the surrounding environment, recording measurements within one hour of pouring your concrete. This rapid equalization ensures that you get reliable data almost immediately after placement.

Our free mobile app and cloud service empower your team to make more confident decisions faster. Data can be downloaded to the app when a connected device is within the sensor's range and instantly uploaded to the cloud, where it is shared with your entire team. The app automatically handles complex calculations, providing calibrated compressive strength and maturity curves. It also offers instant access to temperature and relative humidity readings, plots your data graphically, and generates comprehensive reports, streamlining your workflow.
