Overview

Locating rebar in reinforced concrete structures is essential for successfully conducting various on-site tests. Using the DR 3000 PK cover meter is essential for accurately performing coring, cutting, and other drilling, providing a preliminary step for a wide range of reinforced concrete investigations.

The DR 3000 PK cover meter is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction to precisely determine the position, diameter, and cover thickness of reinforcing bars in concrete. By exploiting the magnetic properties of iron, the instrument detects the presence of ferrous materials within the concrete, storing the data for in-depth analysis. Thanks to the eddy current technique, the DR 3000 PK offers precise and reliable measurements, ensuring high resistance to external interference. Robust, easy to handle, and lightweight, it is a reliable instrument for conducting quick and effective investigations. The DR 3000 PK cover meter complies with the S1881–204 standard.

Locating reinforcement bars in reinforced concrete structures is a crucial task during on-site testing.
This operation is essential prior to core drilling, cutting, or other penetrations, and serves as a preliminary step in a wide range of investigations carried out on reinforced concrete elements.

The DR3000 PK rebar locator operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which enables precise and accurate detection of the position, diameter, and concrete cover of reinforcement bars.
By exploiting the magnetic properties of steel, the device detects the presence of ferrous materials embedded in the concrete.
All acquired data are stored internally for later analysis.

It uses the eddy current technique, making it immune to external interference, and ensures accurate and reliable measurements.

Rugged yet portable, thanks to its compact size and lightweight design, the DR3000 PK is a reliable tool for fast and effective investigations.
