Bosch Rebar Locator Model No. D-tect 150
A Rebar Locator (also called a reinforcement bar detector or cover meter) is a non-destructive testing instrument used in civil engineering and construction to detect and locate the position, depth, and orientation of reinforcing steel (rebar) within concrete structures. It works based on electromagnetic induction principles, allowing engineers to assess reinforcement without damaging the structure. It is widely used for quality control, structural inspection, and verification of reinforcement placement as per design.
Key Features
- Rebar Detection: Accurately locates reinforcing bars in concrete.
- Depth Measurement: Determines concrete cover depth over reinforcement.
- Bar Diameter Estimation: Some models can estimate the diameter of rebars.
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): No drilling, cutting, or damaging of concrete is required.
- Digital Display: Provides real-time location and depth readings.
- Audio/Visual Indication: Alerts when reinforcement is detected.
- Mapping Capability: Advanced models can create rebar layout maps of large surfaces.
- Portable & User-Friendly: Lightweight, handheld design for field inspections.
- Data Storage & Transfer: Some units allow saving measurement data and transferring it to PC for reports.
- Wide Applications: Useful in construction quality checks, renovation projects, structural health monitoring, and verification of reinforcement before cutting or coring concrete.
