GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Used to measure the thickness of concrete cover over steel reinforcement bars and metal pipes, furthermore it is also used  to identify the location, orientation and diameter of  reinforcement bars (rebar). The basic unit can be completed with a number of optional probes for various determination. See accessories.

Description
The Bartracker, which use the Pulse induction technique, features a rugged waterproof IP 65 case with a probe storage for easy portability.
The battery pack can be recharged inside or outside the gauge. The display screen shows you everything you need to know.
The gauge is supplied complete with:

  • Main unit
  • Standard search head to meet most of measurement requirements to identify 40 mm dia. bar up to 95 mm depth (approx.), 8 mm dia. bar up to 70 mm depth (approx.), sensing area 120×60 mm.
  • PC cable
  • Battery pack and charger
  • Shoulder strap
  • Earphone
  • Carry case and instruction manual

Important note
Standard and optional search heads, can be supplied on order, complete with calibration certificate. See ordering information.

To identify reinforcement bar diameters:

  • Metric: 5 – 50 mm diameters in 21 values
  • US bar numbers: #2-#18 bar sizes in 16 values

Rechargeable power supply:

  • 7.4 lithium ion battery pack providing up to 32 hours of continuous use (20 hours if backlight on). Rechargeable in 4 hours either inside or outside the gauge using the external charger

Maximum operating temperature: 50°C
Unit dimensions: 230x130x125 mm
Unit weight: 1.54 kg

Bartracker 58-E6102 search heads and probes (optional)

58-E6100/1  
Narrow pitch search head.
Accurately measures the cover thickness when the gaps between each of the rebars (pitch) are close together.
Range: 40 mm rebars up to 80 mm depth (approx.), 8 mm bar up to 60 mm depth (approx.).
Sensing area 120×60 mm
Dimensions 155x88x42 mm

58-E6100/2  
Deep cover search head.
The ideal search head for accurately measuring rebars that are deep within the structure.
Range: 40 mm rebars up to 180 mm depth (approx.), 8 mm bar up to 160 mm depth (approx.).
Sensing area 160×80 mm
Dimensions 170x94x54 mm

58-E6100/3  
Short borehole probe.
The solution for locating tendon ducts and multiple layers lying deep within the concrete.
Measurement depth: 0-40 cm
Approximate detection ranges: Tendon ducts (70 mm/2.75”) up to 90 mm/3.54”; Reinforcement bar up to 60 mm/2.36”

58-E6100/4  
Long borehole probe.
Measurement depth: 0-100 cm
Approximate detection ranges: Tendon ducts (70 mm/2.75”) up to 90 mm/3.54”; Reinforcement bar up to 60 mm/2.36”
