ريسيپوڊ 38 ايم ايم ڪنڪريٽ مٿاڇري جي مزاحمتي ميٽر استعمال ڪندڙ دستياب

1. تعارف ۽ پراڊڪٽ ختمview

The Resipod is a comprehensive solution designed for accurately measuring the electrical resistivity of concrete. It is suitable for both laboratory use under controlled conditions and on-site applications. This device is known for its reliability, accuracy, and rugged, waterproof construction.

The Resipod Geometric model includes a standard fixed spacing surface Wenner probe, with additional accessories for variable spacing and bulk resistivity measurements. The ResipodLink software allows users to input correct probe spacing and geometric correction factors, providing direct resistivity readings on the instrument. Users can also apply self-determined correction factors.

اهم ايپليڪيشنون:

• Estimation of corrosion rates in concrete structures.
• Assessment of concrete resistance to aggressive agents.
• Evaluation of concrete homogeneity and curing conditions.
• Checking fiber distribution in steel fiber reinforced concrete.
• Identification of wet and dry areas within a concrete structure.
• Correlation to water permeability of rock.
• Indication of variations in water/cement ratios within a concrete structure, including areas most susceptible to chloride penetration.

2. پيڪيج جو مواد ۽ سيٽ اپ

Before beginning, ensure all components are present and undamaged. The standard package includes:

• Resipod Geometric Instrument (38mm probe spacing)
• ٽيسٽ پٽي
• Foam Contact Pads
• Charger with USB Cable
• کڻندڙ پٽي
• Documentation (User Manual, Calibration Certificate)
• حفاظتي سامان کڻڻ وارو ڪيس

Using ResipodLink Software:

• ڊيٽا جي منتقلي: Connect the Resipod to your computer using the USB cable. Use the ResipodLink software to download stored measurement data.
• Probe Spacing Correction: Within the software, accurately enter the probe spacing used for the measurement. This ensures the correct resistivity value is calculated and displayed.
• Geometric Correction Factor: Apply the appropriate geometric correction factor based on the geometry of the concrete element being tested (e.g., slab, column, rebar presence).
• Custom Correction Factors: The software allows for the input of user-determined correction factors for specialized applications.

4. سار سنڀال

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Resipod instrument.

• صفائي: After each use, wipe the probes and the instrument body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the charging port or other openings.
• اسٽوريج: Store the Resipod in its protective carrying case when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• بيٽري جي سنڀال: For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%). Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• جاچ جو معائنو: Regularly inspect the probes for wear or damage. Damaged probes can affect measurement accuracy and should be replaced.
• حساب ڪتاب: While the Resipod is designed for high accuracy, periodic calibration by an authorized service center is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
