The
re-birth of a classic rebar locator with the latest in digital sensing
and microprocessor technology!
The James Instruments R-Meter MK III™ Covermeter represents the
re-birth of a classic rebar locator. It utilizes the latest in digital
eddy current sensing and microprocessor technology to accurately
locate, determine depth, and estimate diameter of metal objects
in concrete.
The digital 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 digital 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 Covermeter's 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 Covermeter's digital 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™ Covermeter
provides the field engineer/technician with all the tools necessary
to locate and determine what and where all metal objects are in
the structure.
