    RA 100 Concrete Model 1.0390 Make sure that USB PnP Sound Device is selected as the default device in the Windows settings for the recording device. AGC" must be deactivated under "Properties - User-defined" and a level of 100 must be set under "Level".
  • Page 8 RA 100 Concrete Model 1.0390 The fck-cube compressive strength value is used for the target display (first column next to the diagram) for comparison with the measurement. The maximum grain display is not used directly, it indirectly influences an otherwise determined calibration correction factor, which is listed in the last column of the sort list and corrects the determination of compressive strength according to empirical experience.

  • Page 10 RA 100 Concrete Model 1.0390 Resonant Frequency This is the actual and most important measured value. In the set frequency range, the signal frequency response recorded by the microphone is deter- mined in the manner of a digital short-term Fourier transformation and also displayed graphically.

    RA 100 Concrete Model 1.0390 E-stat DIN EN 12390-13 The static modulus of elasticity is estimated from the dynamic modulus of elasticity according to theoretical models, similar comparison measurements from literature and own measurements. Fc-cyl fc-cube 0,92 fc-cube The result values correspond to a conversion of the measured sound velocity according to empirical values obtained in test series with several hundred cube compressive strength values produced in the ready-mixed concrete product monitoring.
