The Cronosonic is an ultrasonic pulse velocity from MAE which can be used to investigate poles, truss, diaphrams, laboratory samples and many other structures made of concrete or stone. It performs measurements via direct, indirect and semi direct method.
This compact instrument has a real-time display to show the time of fly (T.O.F.) and velocity of the investigated material. Measurements can be transferred to a PC via USB connection and it is possible to connect the instrument with an external oscilloscope.
Ultrasonic pulse velocity survey is a standardized system in diagnostics of concrete. From analysis of compression P waves into material, it is possible to get Time of Fly (T.O.F.) of ultrasonic waves and propagation speed of the same into the investigated material. This high frequency method is indicated for compact materials such as dried concrete and on structural elements of reduced dimensions as trusses, poles, etc. This instrument series allows to estimate mechanical characteristics of materials, evaluate homogeneity rate and any eventual fractures, cavities, defects or anomalies of the element.
