Compressometer
The Compressometer is used for evaluating deformation and strain characteristics
of concrete cylinders while undergoing compression testing. The Compressometer
includes two cast aluminum-alloy yokes, mounting and central points, stainless steel
control rods. Models are available with a dial gauge— with a range of 0.2" (5.08mm)
and minimum graduations of .0001 (.0025mm), as well as with a digital indicator
or a LSCT transducer. Digital indicators and LSCT models can be used with data
acquisition systems through the use of our MiniLoggers, see below. Meets ASTM
C469. Shipping wt. 22 lb (10kg).

that you locate bar position, one of the analog models should suffice. However, if you need to know bar size or are concerned
with mapping bar orientation or depth of cover over a large area, one of the digital models would be called for.
