    The TICO ultrasonic instrument uses transducers to measure pulse velocity and calculate properties like modulus of elasticity and concrete strength. It can test via direct transmission between two transducers, semi-direct transmission where one transducer acts as both transmitter and receiver, and indirect or surface transmission. The TICO is used on construction sites to evaluate concrete uniformity and locate defects. It stores up to 250 test readings and interfaces with printers or PCs.

    Testing Method for

    TICO Ultrasonic Testing Instrument

    Direct transmission

    The TICO instrument uses transducers as transmitters and receivers to calculate pulse velocity by measuring transmission time. This flexible unit can measure via direct transmission, semi-direct
    transmission, indirect or surface transmission to accommodate the demands
    of virtually any test site. Optional exponential transducers with pointed tips are
    available for testing on rough surfaces like shotcrete.

    Semi-direct transmission

    The ultrasonic pulse velocity


    method is used to determine material strength and quality, based on
    the relationship to material density
    and elasticity. Using this ultrasonic
    method, the TICO instrument determines, indirectly, the modulus of
    elasticity and concrete strength. The
    instrument is typically used on site
    to assess uniformity of concrete and
    to locate cracks, voids, cavities, and
    defects due to fire and frost.

    Ultrasonic testing is often coupled with Schmidt hammer tests to aid in final
    location of specific weak areas. All information is displayed clearly in a large,
    easy to read format. The measurements can be transferred to a printer or to a
    PC for analysis and evaluation.
