The velocity of ultrasonic wave in concrete is affected by elastic property or strength.

Ultracon-170 applies high voltage and sends it to transit transducer to generate ultrasonic wave. This ultrasonic wave reaches to the receive transducer through concrete. When elastic property or strength of concrete is high, the transit time is short. On the other hand, when the materials are contrary, the velocity is low.

Ultracon-170 measures the ultrasonic transit time accurately so it makes possible to evaluate a material or find an elastic properties non-destructively to investigate uniformity, cavities, cracks, fire/frost damage, delamination, deterioration and strength.

Ultracon-170 uses 52 kHz concrete transducers manufactured by mkcndt which was designed to send and receive ultrasonic signal effectively in highly attenuative materials, including concrete, wood, stone and plastic. This instrument was developed by cooperative research with Korea Research Institute of Standard & Science, subsidized from the national coffers of Ministry of Science & Technology. This is the 4th generation.

Measuring Principle of Ultracon-170

Ultrasonic wave is well propagated in hard materials, like concrete, stone and wood other than sonic wave. The velocity of ultrasonic is affected by length or stiffness of the material. Ultracon-170 evaluates the elastic property and measures the depth of crack in concrete structures as well.

In order that ultrasonic wave could propagate easily, ultrasonic couplant should be applied to the surface of UT transducers or concrete.
