A1220 MONOLITH UPVT - Ultimate Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester
A1220 MONOLITH UPVT - Ultimate Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester
The all-round ultrasonic pulse velocity tester for comprehensive assessment of concrete and other construction materials. P- and S-wave measurements, through-transmission and pulse-echo modes, a wide range of 20 kHz–1 MHz transducers, and transmission paths of up to 15 meters — from small specimens to massive concrete structures.
Description
A versatile platform for ultrasonic concrete testing From laboratory specimens to massive structures, combining conventional pulse velocity measurements with advanced pulse-echo capabilities.
20 kHz – 1 MHz Wide operating frequency range for testing materials and structures of different dimensions and acoustic properties.
Up to 15 m High-power pulser and sensitive receiver enable through-transmission measurements over exceptionally long propagation paths in concrete.
P-wave & S-wave Supports both longitudinal and shear-wave measurements for UPV testing and determination of elastic material properties.
Conventional & DPC transducersWorks with conventional piezoelectric probes as well as ACS Dry-Point-Contact transducers and arrays for couplant-free testing on rough concrete surfaces.
Through-transmission & Pulse-echo One instrument covers classical UPV measurements as well as one-sided ultrasonic testing where access to the opposite surface is not available.
