The
digital version of a classic rebar locator, rebar finder

The James R-Meter MK III™ is the digital version of a classic rebar
locator, rebar finder which enables the user to locate reinforcement
bars and also determine rebar location and rebar size. The R-Meter MK III™ rebar locator is also capable of locating non ferrous metals
as well.
The eddy current sensor is specifically designed to react to the
outer surface of the metal object. It is uninfluenced by small metal
particles in the concrete, whether the concrete is fresh or hardened,
wet, or dry. The eddy current sensor 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 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 provides the user with the information they need. Rebar diameter
can be estimated by using a simple system of comparison all fully
automated for consistent, repeatable results with increased resolution
over previous models.
The microprocessor can also statistically analyze the data, searching
automatically for minimum cover points, and the least cover of a
group of points. Cover points can be displayed as a symbolic map
of a structure to assist the user in finding problematic areas.
Built in memory can store over 80 thousand individual data points
for processing.
The optional scan cart can be used to graphically display a cross
section of the concrete and the location of the metal objects within.
With its built in encoder objects can be located with both distance
and depth recorded.
Fully integrated P.C. software allows the upload and storage of
data points via RS-232. The ruggedized R-Meter MK III™ provides the
field
engineer/technician with all the tools necessary to locate and determine
what and where all metal objects are in the structure.
