Touch screen display Integrated monitor Instrument for Ultrasonic Pulse velocity and sonic tests with instrumented hammer SONIC15 is a device for non Destructive Tests with ultrasonic pulse velocity and sonic tests on masonry through instrumented hammer. In spite of compact dimensions of the unit, there is a wide monitor of 7’’ with integrated touch screen which allows it to be used on site in immediate and effective way. Waves acquisition and visualization parameters can be easily changed in simple and immediate way through the touch screen, allowing for on-site first checks of recorded data. Depending on its configuration, SONIC15 can be used for investigations on both concrete structures and masonry. According to the type of test to be performed, it is sufficient to connect the necessary accessories to the instrument, such as probes of various frequencies for ultrasonic testing or the trigger hammer for sonic testing. The method is based on the propagation velocity of longitudinal ultrasonic waves within a reinforced concrete structure. The propagation velocity depends on material properties such as elasticity, density, and the presence of voids or micro-cracks. By detecting parameters such as reflection, refraction, transit times (T.O.F.), and vibration energy attenuation, it is possible to obtain information on: Homogeneity of the material Elastic-mechanical characteristics Extent, geometry, and location of internal anomalies or defects, time-related variations in the qualitative parameters of the concrete Through ultrasonic testing, it is possible to evaluate pulse transit velocity (thickness and time). The primary objective of ultrasonic investigations is to record the time of flight (TOF) and subsequently calculate velocity. To detect the propagation velocity of longitudinal waves (P-waves), it is therefore necessary to accurately detect the arrival of the first wavefront. Ultrasonic tests can be performed using the following methods: Direct Method: When the transmitting and receiving probes are placed on opposite faces of the element being tested Semi-Direct Method: When the transmitting/receiving probes are placed on adjacent, usually orthogonal, surfaces of the test element MAE s.r.l advanced geophysics instruments Zona Ind.
