Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Scanning

At ConcreteScan, we offer Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) scanning as part of our comprehensive suite of concrete testing services. UPV scanning is a non-destructive testing method used to assess the quality, uniformity, and integrity of concrete structures.

How UPV Scanning Works:

UPV scanning works by transmitting ultrasonic pulses through concrete and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to travel from one point to another within the material. The velocity of these pulses is directly related to the density and stiffness of the concrete, providing valuable insights into its properties.

Benefits of UPV Scanning:

  • Quality Assessment: UPV scanning allows for the assessment of concrete quality, helping to identify areas of low density or poor compaction that may indicate potential weaknesses or defects.

  • Uniformity Evaluation: By measuring the velocity of ultrasonic pulses at multiple locations across a concrete structure, UPV scanning can determine the uniformity of the material, ensuring consistent strength and durability.

  • Early Detection of Flaws: UPV scanning can detect hidden flaws such as voids, cracks, or delaminations within concrete structures, enabling early intervention and preventative measures to mitigate potential issues.
