The Concrete Cover Meter Rebar Detector is designed for precise measurement of concrete cover thickness, rebar location, and diameter estimation in reinforced concrete structures. Ideal for use in construction sites, operational buildings, and testing environments, this advanced device helps ensure structural integrity and compliance with quality standards.
Key Functions & Advantages:
Concrete Cover Thickness Measurement
The primary function of the Concrete Cover Meter is to accurately measure the thickness of the concrete cover in reinforced structures. With an accuracy of up to 170 mm, the device adapts to various rebar diameters, providing reliable measurements crucial for compliance and safety.
Scanning & Detection Mode
In scanning mode, the detector identifies the presence and position of rebars, offering optional audio signals to simplify rebar detection without continuous screen monitoring.
Rebar Diameter Estimation
The device includes a diameter estimation mode that approximates rebar diameter by measuring distances with and without a reference plate. While not precise, this feature offers a useful estimate in non-critical applications.
Ergonomic & Durable Design
Built to endure tough conditions, the Concrete Cover Meter features a shock-resistant, dust- and moisture-proof housing, making it ideal for challenging industrial environments.
Enhanced Features:
- Industrial-grade, durable housing resistant to dust, moisture, and impacts
- High-contrast display with adjustable brightness and contrast, metric or imperial units, and multilingual options
- Universal probe with built-in memory for saved calibration tables and backup
- Extended battery life and improved accuracy, offering stable measurements without added cost

Important Notes:
- Diameter Estimation Mode: Intended for approximate measurements only, as accuracy may vary depending on the sample (see Media video 1).
- Calibration: Only requires a simple zero-point calibration for use.
- Rebar Proximity Limitations: Accurate readings may be challenging if rebars are positioned within 100 mm of each other, a common limitation for cover meters of this type.
The Concrete Cover Meter Rebar Detector combines functionality and durability, providing professionals with essential tools to assess and ensure concrete integrity across various construction and industrial settings.
