A cover meter is a device that locates reinforcement and measures the exact concrete cover. It is a non-destructive way to accurately locate the steel reinforcing within the concrete and the thickness...

A vibrating wire piezometer is a fluid pressure measurement instrument using a proven technique of converting fluid pressure on a sensitive diaphragm into a frequency signal. Frequency signals are...

UTM stands for 'universal testing machine' and it is a versatile equipment that can determine the force applied to various materials and the result of the test. Among its common applications is to...

A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) System is a geophysical method that is mostly used for detecting and finding buried objects ranging from pipes, water, weapons and cash to voids, disturbed soil and...

A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a truly multipurpose instrument that can be used to test the tensile stress and compressive strength of various materials, components and structures, thus...

Strain is defined as the ratio between an element's length before and after the application of force on to it. VW strain gauges can be set up on their own or as a group to monitor movement and...

Ultrasonic pulse velocity tester is an advanced equipment used in the routine checking of concrete materials. Concrete is one of the primary materials used in the construction industry. The quality of...

To identify concrete’s compressive strength, a sample must be gathered and tested via the concrete compression test. For this test, a concrete cylinder is cast as a sample to be tested in a laboratory...

GPR is an imaging technology used for subsurface earth exploration. Its advantages over other imaging techniques include the broad range of subsurface investigation, detailed high resolution data...

Coatings are materials used as exterior spreads on construction elements to increase the life of a structure. One typical example is paint, which is sometimes mixed in with other inert materials to...

Concrete compression tests are performed to determine the compressive strength of the material. It is one of the commonly used concrete tests, the other being the slump test. Laboratory testing of...

Measuring the concrete strength is one of the most important stages in construction and engineering to ensure a high-quality build. While it is traditionally done using compression and tension testing...

Soil testing provides construction and engineering specialists’ crucial information on the mechanical behaviour of soils that will be used as the support for roads, the base for the foundation of a...

Universal testing machines measure force applied to various materials and the deformation that results from it, as in the case of testing reinforcing steel bars under tension. They can likewise be...

Concrete compression tests are conducted to determine the strength of concrete. Testing can follow different procedures depending on the type of machine that is used. In most cases, a concrete...
