CorroMap

The CorroMap is a rapid, non-destructive technique for the evaluation of reinforcement half-cell potentials and corrosion rates. It maps the contour plots of half cell potential and resistance in colour on the screen and for transfer to PC.

The CorroMap is a lightweight system with rechargeable batteries for optimum portability and is designed to be operated by one man. It offers reliable evaluation of reinforcement corrosion also in wet, carbonated or inhibitor treated concrete so that the Half-cell potential and electrical resistance to the cover layer are given.

The system will also take galvanostatic pulse measurements which are an indication of the rate of corrosion of the reinforcing steel.

KIT

The equipment comes with a Lightweight electrode and a hand held computer pre-installed with easy to operate software. A durable steel ring for applying the current field to the reinforcement allows for measurements possible on uneven and curved surfaces with a replaceable sponge.

The system also includes a variety of connections and cables to make obtaining reinforcement contact as simple as possible.

APPLICATIONS

The CorroMap is typically used in connection with:

• Swimming pools
• Bridges
• Balconies
• Parking houses
• Concrete structures in a marine environment

FEATURES

• Protected against dust, rain and snow (IP65).
• Up to 2400 automated measurements, one-man operated with “auto trigger” and “auto increment” options.
• Can measure related values of electrochemical potential and resistance.
• System can be purchased with or without corrosion rate measurement

‍

ADVANTAGES

• Estimation of the corrosion rate in the reinforcement can be made in less than 10 seconds.
• Reliable evaluation of reinforcement corrosion also in wet, carbonated or inhibitor treated concrete.
• Half-cell potential and electrical resistance of the cover layer are given.
• Lightweight electrode / hand held computer and easy to operate software.
• Durable Guard Ring system for focusing the cur-rent field to the reinforcement.
• Measurements possible on uneven and curved surfaces.

SOFTWARE

‍

The included software for the PISON workabout Pro3 is used to set up mapping parameters and record resistance, half-potential and corrosion rate data.

This system allows a grid of any size to be established, a data collection procedure defined and data quality parameters set below which information will not be recorded. Data is exportable to excel format.
