Resipod - The worlds most accurate concrete surface resistivity meter
The construction industry is rapidly moving towards performance based
specifications for concrete durability of new structures; at the same time
the assessing of service life of actual reinforced concrete elements is being
a subject of increasing concern in the industry. Concrete resistivity has
been used for years as one of the critical parameters used to determine
the quality of concrete, both in new construction and existing structures.

The benefits & features:

A quick and accurate test that provides immediate results.

A tool that provides rapid mapping of concrete homogeneity of cast in place elements, as it may reflect local
variations in the water content.
A corrosion diagnosis tool; resistivity mapping along with half-cell potential measurement both provide an
estimation of the likelihood of corrosion.
In concrete with metal fibers, the Resipod can be used to determine the distribution of metal fibers along the
surface.

Resipod Family - The complete package for measuring the resistivity of concrete:
Resipod is available in either a 38 mm or 50 mm probe spacing.

The 38 mm Resipod model complies with AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials), TP 95-11 (Surface Resistivity Indication of Concretes Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration).
Resipod Geometric accessories allow for additional spacing variability to be utilized.

Bulk resistivity measurements can be obtained with the Resipod Bulk Resistivity accessories.

Regardless of the probe spacing or the accessories used in the testing, the Resipod Link software that is
provided accounts for all the possible testing configurations required for the resistivity testing on-site and on
lab samples.
On board memory can store up to 500 measurements within the unit.

Case Study - Cost-efficient solution:

Research1 has shown that there is a good relationship between the average 28-day surface resistivity
test results using the Resipod and the average 56-day Rapid Chloride Permeability test results.
In 2012, Louisiana Department Of Transportation & Development utilized the Resipod in place of
the Rapid Chloride Permeability test as a quality control tool during the construction to replace
three bridges in the state: LA-1 Bridge, Caminada Bay Bridge and Twin Spans Bridge. The change
benefited in a cost savings of $1.5 Million USD to the state. Besides the significant cost savings,
the surface resistivity testing with the Resipod also provided results in 28 days as oppose to waiting
56 days before starting the test with the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test, which allowed for faster
approval of the in place concrete and it also reduced the overall construction time on the project.
