The A3000UM is an inspection instrument used to perform
non-destructive sonic and ultrasonic contact testing on concrete and
masonry structures, as well as on a wide array of other materials.
The broad spectrum of frequencies to be analyzed (from 16 to 65 KHz)
allows to carry out measurements on materials with different mechanical
characteristics and different grade of compactedness and homogeneity.
Sonic inspections are performed by means of an instrumented hammer
working as a trigger, plus a receiving probe (variable frequency).
Mechanical stress waves are induced by hitting the material to be
inspected with a hammer (trigger); reflective waves are then captured by
the receiving probe and recorded in the central unit. Sonic tests are
widely used to inspect those materials that present low propagation
characteristics, non-compact and heterogeneous materials, and also when
it is necessary to cover long distances, which would be out of reach for
a high frequency ultrasonic system.
The A3000UM series allows to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of
the materials, assessing their integrity and, possibly, the presence of
any defect such as cracks, voids, or construction pathology related
problems. This method can be applied to quickly and easily assess the
conservation state of masonry structures, cavity walls, historic and
monumental buildings, thus avoiding or limiting the use of destructive
tests. |
