Lab Manager's Tip

For laboratories performing AASHTO T358 testing, select the 38mm probe spacing configuration. Consistent probe contact, proper surface moisture conditions, and repeatable measurement locations are essential for reliable resistivity results. Higher resistivity values generally indicate lower ionic conductivity and potentially greater resistance to chloride penetration, but results should be interpreted with consideration of moisture, temperature, and concrete composition.

Typical Applications

The Resipod Concrete Resistivity Meter is used by concrete testing laboratories, transportation departments, engineering consultants, and quality control personnel to evaluate the electrical resistivity of hardened concrete.

Typical applications include assessing concrete durability, evaluating resistance to chloride ion penetration, supporting corrosion-risk assessments for reinforced concrete, and monitoring concrete quality during construction or infrastructure inspections.

The instrument is also useful for evaluating concrete mixture performance and comparing durability characteristics of different concrete formulations.
