C-CM-5000-CU Cor-Map® II System System For Mapping Corroded Accessories
Explanation:
By measuring and mapping the voltage potential in concrete, you can quickly determine the presence of worn reinforcement steel without the costly and time-consuming destruction of concrete. This is done by recording the voltage between the reinforcement steel and the semi-steel mapped within the surface of the concrete. Rust areas with high corrosion will show significantly lower voltages than non-corrosion areas, so the wear areas of reinforcement steel inside the concrete can be quickly identified. There is no need to know the exact position of the reinforcement steel or the amount of the mat, the presence of Steel is all that is required. However, the voltmeter must be attached to an exposed part of the reinforcement steel mesh, and since the concrete is being tested, any material on the surface must be removed.
