The
Mini R-Meter™ is a rugged digital hand-held
field instrument for finding the location and depth of
reinforcement bars in place.
The
Mini R-Meter™ is light weight and
inexpensive, and an
easy to use unit to locate rebar.
Rebar detection
of up to 10"¯ (250mm) can be accomplished when locating large diameter
rebar. An easy to
read display and a 4 hr
battery life are just a few
advantages that
make the Mini R-Meter
one of the most advanced hand held units in the field
today. The sensor design allows the end user to quickly and accurately
locate and
determine concrete cover in corners or hard to reach areas. The system
allows the user to select between Imperial and Metric units, and the
data can be saved in the instrument for posterior uploading to a
computer. The data is saved in the system with the date and time of the
record to help identify prior test
taken. The
Mini R-Meter
rebar locator is also capable of locating non-ferrous
metals.
The
eddy current sensor was specifically designed to react with the
presence of currents on the outer surface of metal objects. It is
uninfluenced by small metal particles in the
concrete, whether the concrete is
fresh or hardened,
wet, or dry. The eddy currentsensor also
allows the unit to locate both ferrous as well as non-ferrous metals in
concrete; thereby finding not only steel
reinforcing bars accurately, but also tendons,
copper tubing,
conduit, and more.
The
latest in
microprocessor technology not only conditions the signal from the sensor
for more accurate and dependable results,
but also provides the user with the
information they need.
Built
in memory can store
over 150 individual data points for later processing.
Detection and Orientation of Rebar
The exact position
and orientation of rebar can be measured quickly and accurately.
Rebar-free areas can be identified for coring, grinding,
resurfacing, or insertion of new machinery mountings.
The instrument can be used to inspect new structures for compliance with
specifications as well as old structures under modification.
Measurement of Concrete Cover
The exact position and orientation of rebar can be measured quickly and accurately. Knowing the size of
the rebar, concrete cover can be detected and the distance between the
concrete and the surface it will appear in the easy to read display.
Location of Metals
Locate any metals, as pipe, flues, wire, and sheets embedded in
concrete, masonry, or wood. Identification is possible to a
depth of 10 inches.
Location of Pre-Stressed Cables
Locates the position of cables and
lost tendon splices in pre or post tension concrete products.
