Eyecon
Portable hand-held instrument that can be used for ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements and, as a pulse-echo tester, for flaw detection and thickness measurements.
EyeCon is based on the ultrasonic pitch-catch method and uses an antenna composed of an array of dry point contact (DPC) transducers, which emit shear waves into the concrete. The 4 by 6 transducer array is under computer control and the recorded data are analyzed to create 2-D images of the reflecting interfaces within the cross sections below the antenna. The series of 2-D images obtained from a 2- dimensional surface scan of the test object are transferred to a computer with IntroView imaging software. The software can assemble the 2-D slices into a complete 3-D image of the test object. The 3-D image can then be manipulated for interpretation of test results.
