What Does A Batch Contain - Elcometer 331 SH Operating Instructions Manual

• Use the Covermeter to locate and measure the minimum area of cover within each grid cell, or
the cover to the reinforcement bar nearest to each grid-point, depending upon your survey
procedures.
• Store the results in a grid batch corresponding to the grid of squares (press [ ] to enter a
reading while the batch is open).
• If required, create a separate batch of the same name configured for half-cell and store
corresponding half-cell potential measurements for each location. This allows the batches to
be grouped for production of reports which combine cover and half-cell readings using
®
CoverMaster software - see "CoverMaster software" on page 53.
