Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) testing is used to determine the integrity of structural concrete.
- Relative velocity measurement to check for voiding, cracking, or other defects
- Can be used on concrete or stone members up to 25 feet thick
- 2-sided access for direct testing
The UPV method can also be used on structural elements to provide an indication of material quality.
