1. Introduction
The following operation manual explains the preparation, setup,
principles of operation, usage and troubleshooting of the Ultrasonic
Tester NOVOTEST IPSM-U.
Please, read this instructions carefully for operate the Ultrasonic
Tester NOVOTEST IPSM-U functions quickly and effectively.
In doing this you will be able to take full advantage of the function
range of the instrument. At the same time, you will also avoid errors
and wrong operation which in turn would cause incorrect test results
and thus could lead to injury and damage.
2. Appointment
2.1. Ultrasonic Tester NOVOTEST IPSM-U is designed to assess
the properties of solid materials and inspection time and velocity of
spreading and the shape of the received ultrasonic oscillations at the
surface and through-sounding.
2.2. The device allows detecting defects, determining strength,
density and modulus of construction materials, as well as audio
index abrasives on preset calibration curve parameter data of the
velocity of ultra-sound waves.
2.3. Main areas of application:
- determination of concrete strength according to GOST 17624-87;
- identifying defects in the concrete structures under anomalous
reduction velocity and form of displayed signals of ultrasonic waves;
-determination of the depth of cracks;
- determination of porosity and fracture anisotropy composite
materials and rocks;
- determination of modulus of elasticity and density of the materials.
