  • Page 4: The Resipod Measurement Principle

    . The current is carried by ions in the pore liquid . The calculated resistivity depends on the spacing of the probes . Resistivity ρ= 2πaV/l [kΩcm] © 2017 Proceq SA...

  • Page 5: The Resipod Display

    Display resolution depends on the measured resistivity and the nominal current flowing . See technical data . Battery status The battery status symbol will be displayed when the accumulator is at 10% of its capacity . Otherwise it is blanked out . © 2017 Proceq SA...
  • Page 6 . It may also be used to introduce a correc- tion based on a form factor if desired . Whenever the apostrophe to the right of the kΩ symbol is lit, it indicates that a correction factor has been applied . © 2017 Proceq SA...

  • Page 7: Measuring Resistivity With Resipod

    . The size of the contact however, means it is not always possible to drive the full 200µA into the concrete to obtain the maximum measurement resolution . © 2017 Proceq SA...

  • Page 8: Memory Function

    1 to 19 . Each object can contain up to 99 readings . Object 1 - Reading 1 Object 19 – Reading 99 You may check the last entry “Object – Reading” number simply by pressing the “Save” button when the instrument is not in hold modus . © 2017 Proceq SA...
  • Page 9 All 19 objects have been used . It is necessary to delete readings before using the memory further (see above) . Reading number is >99 The current object is full . Move to the next object to store further readings (see above) . Memory is empty . © 2017 Proceq SA...

    – a RILEM TC-154 technical recommendation” by Rob B . Polder . The values have been converted to kΩcm to match the display of the Resipod . More details on the interpretation of results may be found in that document . © 2017 Proceq SA...
  • Page 12 The effectiveness of a cathodic protection system depends very much on the resistivity of the concrete . Mapping out the resistivity prior to installation allows the structure to be divided into separate zones requiring different levels of current flow . © 2017 Proceq SA...

  • Page 13: Quality Control Applications

    . Details of the test can be found on the official AASHTO website: http://tig .transportation .org/Pages/SurfaceResistivityTest .aspx The Resipod family is completed by two further instruments differentiated by application as can be seen in the table: Resipod...
  • Page 14 The resistance of the foam inserts varies with the pressure applied . The resistances of the top and bottom inserts can be measured as follows: Test set-up to measure the resistance of the upper foam insert (R upper Upper plate Upper foam insert Lower plate © 2017 Proceq SA...
  • Page 15 Upper plate Upper foam insert Cylinder under test Lower foam insert Lower plate The measured resistance is the sum of the resistance of the cylinder plus the two inserts, therefore: – R cylinder measured upper lower © 2017 Proceq SA...

  • Page 16: Resipod Geometric

    The geometric correction factor for cylinders is designed to comply with the latest research in- tended to extend the current AASHTO surface resistivity method to other sample geometries . In addition to this the user also has the possibility to enter a self-determined correction factor . © 2017 Proceq SA...
