Adhesion gauges are essentially used to determine the bond strength between two layers. In this way, these easy to use gauges are ideal for measuring a wide range of applications, which include concrete structural repairs as well as other types of coating adhesion on concrete - such as paint, cement, wall plaster, etc.
The basic principle of all the Elcometer Adhesion Gauges is as follows: a test dolly is glued to the surface and, once cured, pulled off. The tensile force required to remove the test dolly together with the coating is measured by the gauge.

Locating steel reinforcement bars is essential in the construction and maintenance of structures. Damage caused when a drill or a fastener makes contact with a pipe is costly. A drill making contact with rebar or tendon ducts, not only destroys the drill bit but also can lead to serious structural damage.
Before carrying out any maintenance work, it is vital to identify the location, orientation and depth of sub-surface metalwork.

The Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG) is a quick, versatile method of examination and measurement of individual coatings in a multi-coat systems where colours are different. It is a portable, easy to use instrument and ergonomically designed to give a balanced weight distribution for a more consistant cut - even on thick and hard coatings.
This is the only accurate way of determining the thickness of a coating on concrete.

The TC200 Concrete Crack Depth Gauge is used to measure concrete crack depth by applying principle of acoustic diffraction. It also can be used to measure propagation velocity of ultrasonic wave in concrete. This instrument is an intelligent nondestructive test equipment possessing the functions of automatic detection, data memory and output. It has a clear and easy to read digital display which gives you a digital readout of the crack depth. Testing Range : 500mm. Tolerance : <5mm

During inspection, sometimes the substrate or coating requires closer investigation. In dark or shaded areas, such as in ballast tanks or large production sites, etc., further investigation may require additional light. It may be necessary to take a detailed look at a specific area where you cannot get to. In this case an inspection mirror is required. For close up investigations the inspector may require magnification of the surface for a clearer understanding.
A simple range of gauges used for the measurement of crack widths in concrete and other structures is also included.

As concrete structures are porous they can absorb moisture. It is therefore often necessary to measure and monitor the moisture content within the concrete.
Other substrates, which may have a high moisture content, include timber, fibreboard, plasterboard, gypsum and brick.

A flexible and economical temperature monitoring system, the IQT-Meter Concrete Temperature Monitoring System features extensive memory and graphic display of temperature history. Similar to the IQM, the IQT System offers software for uploading the temperature data to a P.C. through its serial port. The temperature history can then be displayed with respect to time.

Test hammers are used to determine the surface hardness of concrete and are one of the most widely used instruments in the field of non destructive testing (NDT) of concrete compressive strength. It is the quickest, simplest and least expensive method to obtain an estimate of the quality and strength of the concrete.
Both mechanical and digital test hammers are available.

Designed specifically to identify the location and orientation of reinforcement bars and other below surface metal objects.
Locating steel reinforcement bars and metal pipes is essential in the construction and maintenance of structures. Damage caused when a drill or a fastener makes contact with a pipe is costly. A drill making contact with rebar, not only destroys the drill bit but also can seriously weaken the rebar, leading to serious structural damage.

The TC300 Concrete Thickness Gauge is used for measuring the thickness of nonmetallic plate indirectly, especially for concrete slab. This gauge is to measure the concrete slab thickness mainly by using distribution characteristics of electromagnetic field and possesses functions of thickness measurement, data analysis, data storage & output etc. It is a kind of intelligent thickness measuring instrument that is portable, convenient and accurate. Range : 50 to 350mm Accuracy : +/-1mm.

The V-Meter Concrete Ultrasonic Flaw Detector is an advanced ultrasonic, pulse-velocity test system widely used for quality control and evaluation of concrete structures. It can identify non-homogeneous conditions such as voids, cracks, honeycombs and frozen concrete. With the optional hand-held terminal, stored data can be down loaded to a PC. Poissons Ratio and Modulus of elasticity can be calculated using S-wave transducers. Conforms to ASTM C-597.
