The Resipod is a comprehensive solution for measuring the electrical resistivity of concrete. Designed with a rugged waterproof construction for use in many conditions and environments.
The ResiPod is a fully integrated 4-point Wenner probe, used to perform resistivity measurements on concrete as a non-destructive test.
Proceq's Resipod is extremely fast and stable and packaged in a robust, waterproof housing designed to operate in a demanding site environment.
Wider probe spacings provide a more consistent reading when measuring on an inhomogeneous material like concrete. However, if the spacing is too wide, there is more danger of the measurement being affected by the reinforcement steel. The industry standard 50 mm probe spacing has long been seen as a good compromise.
The 38mm model is designed specifically to comply with the AASHTO standard (under development) for “Surface Resistivity Indication of Concrete’s Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration”.
The contact extension cable kit can also be used to attain variable spacing for the contacts. Spacing from 20-85mm can be achieved using the kit, which is bought as an optional accessory.
Despite being extremely simple to use, ResiPod provides a variety of features that are unique in a concrete surface resistivity instrument.
The display of the ResiPod shows all necessary information while acquiring data on site.
Indication of Poor Connection
A good connection between the instrument and the concrete surface is the most important factor for obtaining a reliable measurement. ResiPod automatically detects a poor connection and alerts the user.
The collected measurement values can then be analysed comfortably with the ResiPod Link PC tool.
System requirements: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, USB-Connector. An internet connection is necessary for soft- and firmware (using Pq Upgrade) updates if available.
The ResiPod can now be upgraded to take bulk resistivity of 102 x 204 mm cylinders using the Bulk Resistivity Module. Bulk Resistivity measurements are taken in such a way that the whole of the cylinder informs the result and are able to be correlated to surface resistivity measurements. The module includes 2 metal and sponge contacts and a convenient stand for the ResiPod.
