Concrete Surface Resistivity Meter

Home Facilities Concrete Surface Resistivity Meter

Make: Proceq

Model: Profometer 600

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.
  • 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.
