OI Catalog - Olson Instruments, Inc.

Headquartered in Wheat Ridge, Colorado USA,
Olson Instruments, Inc. is an industry leader in the
manufacturing of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE)
Instrumentation widely used in the construction field.
We design and engineer NDE systems that are first used by our sister
company, Olson Engineering, Inc. (www.OlsonEngineering.com) before
selling field-proven instruments worldwide that provide the quality,
ruggedness and performance demanded by industry standards.
Furthermore, since our systems are assembled in-house, the purchaser
can be assured that we have the bench strength to provide assistance for
years to come. If you call in for Tech Support, more often than not you
will be speaking with an engineer who has actually designed and used
the equipment and/or written the software! With Olson’s broad knowledge and experience, we provide personalized
service for all of your NDE instrumentation needs.
Since 1993, Olson Instruments, Inc. has been an established manufacturer of sensors and data collection systems.
Our products are designed to address the requirements of the civil engineering industry for condition assessment.
This focus has resulted in NDE, Geophysical and Laboratory test systems that are recognized world-wide for their
durability, versatility, and superior quality. In addition to optional add-on NDE test method systems for ultrasonic,
sonic, seismic, vibration, structural health monitoring as well as custom systems, we develop and manufacture
five main product platforms:
1The Freedom DATA PC, the ultimate in a professional, field ruggedized NDE and Seismic
Geophysical Testing Platform with over a dozen optional add-on test method capabilities.
2The NDE 360, a versatile, robust, ruggedized handheld NDE Platform. Includes up to
a dozen optional add-on NDE and simple Seismic Geophysical test/software system
options in one platform, making it a complete suite for nondestructive evaluation
of civil structures at a very affordable price.
3The CTG’s Impact Echo based Concrete Thickness/Flaw Gauge Product Line
Verify concrete thickness and even detect internal flaws in one easy step without the
need to drill, core or excavate. Requires no special knowledge or training to obtain
thickness measurements.
4The Freedom DAS PC for structural health monitoring, general purpose testing
and data acquisition on up to 32 channels with easily switchable, flexible support
of strain, potentiometer, accelerometer, thermocouple and other sensors for
performance monitoring and load testing.
5The Resonance Tester (RT-1) for determination of elastic moduli of concrete specimens
and rock cores. A lab instrument with just 3 simple components that provides accurate
results in less than a minute — simple to use, simple to learn!
We do not outsource any tech support questions and should you require software
and/or hardware support, we welcome your questions and comments.
