Gecor 6™

REQUEST FOR QUOTE

A unique patented field system for measuring the rate of corrosion and other parameters of reinforcement bars.

Measures the rate of corrosion and other parameters of rebars.
The Gecor 6™ utilizes the polarization resistance technique to establish the corrosion rate.

This is a quantitative measure of the amount of steel oxidizing at the time of measurement. Up to 100 readings can be stored in memory for later uploading to a Personal Computer. Relative humidity, temperature, half-cell potentials and concrete resistivity also can be measured. Weighing only nine pounds, the system is easy to use, portable and menu driven.

Features & Benefits:

	The U.S.Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) describes the system as “giving the corrosion rate most closely matching the true values.”
	The system gives important complementary measurements for the interpretation of corrosion rate results.
	The “A” sensor measures the corrosion rate and half cell potential.
	The “B” sensor measures concrete resistivity, ambient temperature and relative humidity.
	Corrosion rate measurement time is 2-5 minutes and up to 100 readings can be stored in the memory for later downloading to a PC.
	Weighing only 9 lbs., the system is easy to use, portable, and menu driven.
