CUTE 103 is Compact instrument with ample of features for Non-destructive evaluation of concrete quality by
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) measurement method. A set of UPV readings database & Waveform display
can be used for further interpretations of structural concrete. The equipment is designed to comply with the
recommendations of BS EN 12504-4:2004, ASTM C597-71 (re-approved 1979) and IS 13311(Part I); 1992.
The Instrument generates pulse of ultrasonic frequency, which are coupled into the concrete specimen under test
by the transmitting transducer. The receiving transducer is used to detect these pulses & to convert them back
into electrical pulses. Suitable coupling media are used to minimize the losses due to acoustic mismatch at the
transducer-specimen interfaces. A 10MHz Quartz time base ensures accurate measurement of pulse transit time
(T) with a resolution of 0.1S. This model is used for, Basic measurement to get velocity or path length with
waveform analysis, Compound measurement to get crack depth, Measurement log of 1000 readings, battery
status & Ease of Parameters settings. This model is also has PC interface Utility for measurement log
downloading & Live Waveform Analysis.
The CUTE 103 is a fully portable model with facility for using 5V DC & Internal 3.7 VDC Rechargeable
Battery. The OLED graphical display & Keypad provided on the front panel ensures good user interface during
indoor & outdoor use. The equipment is applicable for estimation of properties of concrete such as strength,
uniformity, crack depths, etc.
