Testing Concrete: Determination of Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
Also Known As:
BS EN 12504-4:2004 is a standard that describes a method for determining the ultrasonic pulse velocity in hardened concrete. It is part of the BS EN 12504 series and is used for various applications involving concrete.
The standard outlines the procedure for producing a pulse of longitudinal vibrations using an electro-acoustical transducer in contact with the concrete surface. The vibrations then travel a known distance through the concrete and are converted back into an electrical signal by a second transducer. Electronic timing circuits are used to measure the transit time of the pulse, allowing the determination of the velocity of propagation.
Annexes to the standard provide additional information on factors influencing pulse velocity measurements, the correlation between pulse velocity and strength, and guidance on testing different types of concrete.
