Hylec Controls - DOCter depth or thickness meter

Hylec Controls' depth and width meter

DOCter depth and width meter

DOCter meter

The DOCter is a versatile, portable system based on the impact-echo method, and can be used for the following applications:

• Measure the thickness of pavements, asphalt overlays, slabs-on-ground and walls
• Detect the presence and depth of voids and honeycombing
• Detect voids below slabs-on-ground
• Evaluate the quality of grout injection in post-tensioning cable ducts
• Integrity of a membrane below an asphalt overlay protecting structural concrete
• Delamination surveys of bridge decks, piers, cooling towers and chimneystacks
• Detect debonding of overlays and patches
• Detect ASR damage and freezing-and-thawing damage
• Measure the depth of surface-opening cracks
• Estimate early-age strength development (with proper correlation)

 

Principle

A short-duration stress pulse is introduced into the member by mechanical impact. This impact generated three types of stress waves that propagate away from the impact point. A surface wave (R-wave) travels along the top surface, and a P-wave and an S-wave travel into the member. In impact-echo testing, the P-wave is used to obtain information about the member.
