Rebar Cover, Diameter & Corrosion Assessment
The PROCEQ – Profometer PM8000 Cover Meter is ideal where the location and depth of the rebar needs to be known, this includes:
- Cover checks on existing structures for corrosion or durability survey
- Precise rebar location for QA spot checks on precast yards
- Bar diameter estimation where value is not critical
- Mapping of structures with unknown rebar layout for record keeping
- Condition assessment of deteriorated reinforced concrete.
Sensor Hardware
The PROCEQ – Profometer PM8000 Cover Meter probe can be used independently for spot checks of cover depth and rebar diameter estimates, connect to the iPad App to download measurement sets for statistical analysis.
Snap on the wheeled cart of a PM8000 Pro to start scanning and mapping rebar layouts inside the iPad App, connecting via Bluetooth. An extension rod accessory is available for hard to reach areas.
A cover meter is used to precisely measure the depth from the surface of a concrete element to the top of the embedded reinforcing steel.
Cover depth is a critical value for the long term health and durability of structures, with small cover deficits risking decades of reduction in the service life of a structure.
Since the early 1970s, Proceq have been developing rebar locators and concrete cover meters.
