Advantages of the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test



Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing is a revolutionised non-destructive testing which can be applied on various structures. Concrete testing equipment that uses ultrasonic pulses provides faster and more accurate result. Moreover, the test can be conducted without causing any destruction or damages to the concrete element. Using an ultrasonic pulse velocity test may help save money and time at the same time because it eliminates the need to test, break, and throw away hundreds of cylinders and cubes.

In an ultrasonic pulse velocity test, the material's pulse velocity is determined by the material's density and elastic properties, both of which are related to the material's strength and quality. High-quality ultrasonic pulse equipment enables a reliable and more accurate way to determine the internal properties of materials. Hence, it is useful for determining a material's homogeneity and for detecting the presence of cracks, defects, voids, and other imperfections within the structure.

Ultrasonic pulses also provide a reliable measure of the changes in concrete. Chemical attacks, frost, fire, and cement hydration are some of the reasons why concrete may change or become defective. An ultrasonic pulse velocity test may help determine the modulus or strength of the material, and make sure that the concrete is still able to conform to specified regulations and standard requirements.

A basic mode of the ultrasonic testing method is known as 'time of flight', and it pertains to timing the arrival of the ultrasonic pulse from a transducer via a solid medium to another transducer. The ultrasonic pulse velocity is determined by dividing the distance between the transducers by the time of the arrival. High-quality testing devices offer three transmission modes, which can be employed in real life based on the access to the concrete elements or testing surfaces. Some types of ultrasonic pulse velocity testing equipment come with an analysis software to help you review the data and adjust the measurement settings.

Advantages of Universal Testing Machine

The main advantage of investing in a universal testing machine is that the device can be used to test the strength, durability, and suitability for most any material. A universal testing machine has the capability to pull, compress, bend, or stretch material to its breaking point. It is primarily used by laboratories that manufacture and or mould different types of plastics. A universal testing device features one or two vertical columns mounted on a base. A second horizontal plate contains attachments that are used to hold the sample and slides up and down during stress testing samples. Dual vertical column machines are preferred by most laboratories as they can handle larger samples in terms of size and weight. Determining tensile strength is the most common test performed in a universal testing machine. This is done by holding one end of a sample in place while the other is pulled away until two sides are torn apart. The same process is used for testing flexural str

Uses for Universal Testing Machine

Universal testing machine or UTM is aptly named as it can perform various types of tensile and compression tests on different materials. There are also many different terms used to refer to a UTM that you will commonly hear in the industry, among the most popular of which are a tensile tester, bend tester, and compression tester. Some types of UTMs are stripped of some capabilities and/or are marketed to specific sectors, like texture analyzers for food, peel tester for adhesives, labels, and tapes, and top load compression tester for pipes and packaging. True UTMs can perform all of these and more. They are great multi-purpose instruments for any QC or R&D laboratory. The following are only a few common uses for UTMs: Tensile testing – One of the most common applications for UTM, a tensile test measure how strong a material is, how long it can stretch, and how stiff it is as the material is pulled apart until breaking point. Compression testing – Compr

Precautions to Be Taken While Using a Piezometer

The piezometer is a measuring device that determines pore pressures underground and liquid pressure. By determining pore pressure, you can understand the behaviour of the ground before, during, and after a construction project. Certain precautions must be taken when using a piezometer to ensure proper usage and the accuracy of results. Here are some of them: Have the right equipment – Invest in a state-of-the-art piezometer that uses a proven method of converting fluid pressures on the sensitive diaphragm into frequency signals which are ideal in the demanding environment common with civil engineering applications. Modern piezometers are capable of long distance signal transmission without degradation. They can tolerate wet wiring conditions and resist external electrical noise, too. Some manufacturers make piezometers specific for different applications, for instance, you should be able to find one with a heavy-duty body that can be b
