Pundit ultrasonic pulse velocity and pulse echo tomography
Assessment of structural integrity and localization of defects and voids in concrete and rock
Structural defects cause serious damages and collapses. Ultrasonic testing provides information on the strength and uniformity of concrete, rock, composites, ceramics, wood, epoxy, refractory materials and can be used to detect and localize voids, pipes, cracks and defects. The ultrasonic pulse echo (UPE) technology extends ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) applications to objects where access is restricted to a single side. Proceq offers the most versatile range of ultrasonic testing instruments.

Descriptions
The wireless Pundit Live Array Pro tomography scanner is connected with an iOS app to an Apple® iPad. It comes with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) user support and 3D imaging capabilities.
The Pundit Lab is a flexible UPV test instrument designed primarily for operation in laboratories. It supports all traditional UPV test modes. The Pundit Lab+ comes with an extended feature set.
The Pundit 200 is a best-in-class UPV test instrument with an extended range of measurement modes. Rugged touchscreen with intuitive user interface for best possible measuring and analysis of the measured data.
The Pundit 200 Pulse Echo extends the ultrasonic application to objects where access is restricted to a single side. Major applications are slab thickness measurments and the location of voids and delaminations. Rugged touchscreen with intuitive user interface.
The Pundit 250 Array tomography scanner is perfect for thickness measurements, localization of defects and detection of objects in concrete and fibre reinforced concrete. It features real-time B-Scans and a panorama mode.
