Rcon Bulk Resistivity
Rcon Bulk Resistivity, Non-destructive laboratory device for measuring bulk electrical resistivity of concrete specimens
Fast & Accurate Measurements
In less than 5 seconds, easily test specimen at various stages of hydration in order to study workability, setting, and durability performance of concrete.
Non-Destructive Technology
This non-invasive device can be used in both the lab and in the field to monitor concrete quality without disrupting structural integrity.
Customizable Setup
The devices’ AC impedance technique continuously obtains measurements at customizable intervals set up in its easy-to-use software.
Test the Durability of Concrete
RCON™ is an advanced non-destructive laboratory tool for measuring the bulk electrical resistivity of concrete at various ages. The device is fast (measurement time is less than 5 seconds), accurate (utilizing a variable frequency method), and flexible (measurements can be taken with different settings for verification). No additional sample preparations are required before testing. RCON allows for continuous measurement of electrical resistivity over time, which can be used to monitor important durability parameters of concrete, such as; cracking, moisture transfer, and setting time in concrete specimens.
