PROFOSCOPE

The Profoscope is a versatile, fully-integrated rebar detector and covermeter. It is a compact, light device that can be operated single-handed.
Profoscope has a unique real-time rebar visualization allowing the user to actually “SEE” the location of the rebar beneath the concrete surface to a maximum depth of 180 mm. This is coupled with rebar-proximity indicators and optical and acoustical locating aids. These unique features combine to make the task of locating rebars a simple and efficient process.
Rebar diameter can also be estimated within the specified testing range. Profoscope is very simple to use; the intuitive user interface means faster rebar identification.

Features

• Real-time visualization of the rebar location beneath the instrument
• Visual indication of rebars in close proximity
• Ability to detect rebars AND the mid-point between rebars as well as the orientation of the rebars
• Optical and acoustical indication of rebar location and minimum cover alert
• Neighboring bar correction
• Regional settings (metric, imperial)
• Cordless and single handed operation
• Switchable display backlight for dark environments
• Icon-based language independent menus
• Start-up test kit allows user to familiarize him/herself with all functions in a comfortable environment, wasting no time on site

Applications

• Rebar detection – (e.g. general contractors, civil contractors, drilling specialists, electrical contractors)
• Measurement of concrete cover - (e.g. general contractors, civil contractors, civil engineers)
• Measurement of rebar diameter – (e.g. educational institutes, building inspectors, civil contractors)
• Checking for minimum cover – (e.g. building inspectors, civil contractors)
• Map out the rebar grid and cover for corrosion studies (with Canin+) – (e.g. building inspectors)
• Rebar grid examination for planned load changes on the structure – (e.g. civil engineers, civil contractors)

Technical Data

Mechanical Range

The measuring range is dependent on the bar size. The expected accuracy of the cover measurement is indicated in the graphic below.

(Complies with BS1881 part 204, for a single rebar with sufficient spacing).
