Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester – Proceq PL200

Proceq PL200 is best in class on site Ultrasonic Testing instrument for accessing the concrete uniformity via Line and area scans with measurement range up to 15m (depending on concrete) to ensure accurate path length measurementperpendicular crack depth measurement and surface velocity measurement.

Proceq PL200’s superior feature of on- board storage and upgradation to use with single shear wave transmitter or expandable with Pundit Pulse echo transmitter makes it a benchmark for ultrasonic pulse velocity testing.

Comprehensive Measurement Modes:

Line Scans

Comprehensive Measurement Modes: Line Scans

 

Assesses the concrete uniformity and detects cracks as well as other defects. The measured pulse velocities are displayed as a line.

 

Crack Depth

Crack Depth

 

Determines the depth of perpendicular cracks according to BS 1881.

 

E-Modulus

E-Modulus

 

Determine the dynamic E-Modulus of a material (e.g. concrete or rock) by measuring P- and S-wave pulse velocities.

  • Direct calculation of the E-Modulus on the instrument
