UCT is a fully portable instrument for assessing the strength of concrete either in situ or precast. It complies with the British Standard BS -4408 (Part V – 1974), BS-1181 and ASTM C-597.

It is designed with field conditions in mind and is very simple to operate. Its accuracy and stability are unmatched. It generates low frequency pulses and measures the time of flight in the material. The time is displayed by 5 digit display. The time of flight and hence the velocity is related to the mechanical strength of concrete.

The majority of concrete testing requires transducers with frequency of 50 to 100 kHz. However higher frequencies are preferred for testing small specimens and achieving better timing accuracies. Wide range of transducers are offered with UCT.

The high quality of transducers has been exploited to the fullest extent and the accuracy of the measurement is improved over the entire range to 100 nano seconds.
