The most advanced ultra-sonic test system for accurately identifying basic characteristics of coarse grained materials
Conforms to ASTM C-597
Detects flaws and measures basic characteristics in coarse-grained material.
The V-Meter 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.
Features & Benefits:
-
Direct digital read-out of transit time.

Applications
Concrete
The V-Meter is widely used and accepted for quality control and inspection of concrete. It can measure and correlate concrete strength to standard strength measurement, permitting non-destructive testing of complete structures. It will identify honey-combs, voids, frozen concrete, cracks and other non-homo-genous conditions in concrete.
Ultrasonic testing can be applied to new and old structures, slabs, columns, walls, fire damaged areas, hydroelectric structures, pipe, prefab and pre-stressed beams, cylinders and other concrete forms. A wide range of transducers are available.
Wood
V-Meter Mark II, ultrasonic testing of wood can, non-destructively, detect knots, shakes, delamination, checks, splits, grain orientation, windfall cracks and presence of decay and rot. Basic parameters such as modulus of elasticity and density can be calculated.
Practical applications include field testing of utility poles and structures, grading in the manufacturing process, fire ladder inspection, examination of laminates and paper roll density.
