REQUEST FOR QUOTE

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

Rebar Corrosion and its effects
Corrosion of reinforcement concrete affects the safety and durability of concrete structures in the following ways:

The steel cross section is reduced, weakening the structure.
The concrete is cracked due to the volume increase in rust.
The steel to concrete bond is reduced when cracking and spalling are initiated.

Corrosion is worsened where there is low concrete cover over the steel, high relative humidity and increased moisture present.

Specifications

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.
