Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
V-Meter MK IV™
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity System For Finding Voids and Cracks,
The most advanced ultrasonic test system for accurately identifying basic characteristics of coarse grained materials such as concrete, wood, masonry, ceramic, graphite and more!
Applications
- Locate Honey Combs and Voids in Concrete
- Locate Cracks in Concrete, Ceramics, Masonry or Stone
- Determine Fire Damage Extent in Concrete or Masonry
- Crack Depth Determination
- Determining Young’s Modulus ( with optional Shear Wave Transducers )
- Find Hidden Areas of Rotting Wood
Features & Benefits
- System has a direct digital read-out of transit time, and read out of wave form on daylight display, back lit LCD.
- Rugged and splash resistant case is built for tough construction environments. Portable, and light weight with both rechargeable battery and standard A-C power.
- Includes a signal and trigger output for use with external oscilliscope or other data input device. Digital calibration means no special bar required. Trigger levels and Signal amplification can be digitally adjusted.
- Conforms to ASTM C-597, BS 1881-203 and other international standards
- USB interface for computer control. Veelinx™ software allows complete control of the system as well as data upload to a PC and data analysis.
- Direct reading of calculated P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity. The unit can also calculate modulus of elasticity of material using optional S-Wave Transducers. Direct reading of Poisson’s ratio
- A large range of Accessories and Ultrasonic Transducers available. Standard Transducers available from 24KHz to 500 KHz enable the unit to test ceramics, graphite, mass concrete pores, and wood. Exponential Transducers for rough surfaces, as well as underwater transducers are also available. Finally a Pre-Amplifier is available for help with long distances or highly attenuative materials.
