Make: Proceq
Model: Profometer 600
- Capabilities
By measuring concrete resistivity, the Resipod provides insights for a variety of critical applications:
- Corrosion assessment: The measurement is directly linked to the likelihood and rate of corrosion in reinforcing steel.
- Chloride permeability: Resistivity is directly correlated with a concrete structure’s resistance to chloride ion penetration, which is a major cause of corrosion.
- Moisture content: The device can identify wet and dry areas in a concrete structure, as resistivity is influenced by moisture.
- Quality control: It can assess the efficiency of concrete curing and identify variations in the water-to-cement ratio.
- Cathodic protection: The data helps determine zonal requirements for cathodic protection systems.
- Applications
- Chloride permeability: Resistivity is directly correlated with a concrete structure’s resistance to chloride ion penetration, which is a major cause of corrosion.
- Corrosion assessment: To measure the corrosion potential directly and rate of corrosion in the reinforcing steel.
