Setting up a Pundit for Different Applications
Choosing and Setting up Sonic Test Equipment for Different Tasks Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) testing is on of the most well known and understood sonic measurement techniques used over concrete. This article discusses a few different application, talking specifically about the right transducers and the access needed to complete testing successfully. Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (UPE) equipment is comparable, but only requires access to one side of a structure to be used, and takes advantage of the unique properties of point contact shear wave transducers to enhance imaging and datalogging potential. Most UPV tests are completed using Compression wave energy, the same energy as caries sound through the air, but it is also possible to complete tests with shear wave energy, which has a different slower velocity compared to compression waves. Specialised transducers are required. The vast majority of UPE equipment uses shear wave energy, in particular array systems take advantag
