<strong>RESONANCE</strong> <strong>TESTER</strong>Model RT-1Meets ASTM C215,ASTM C666 StandardsSuper-Fast DigitalLaboratory System!TEST ON:CONCRETESTONE & ROCKMASONRYCARBON & GRAPHITECERAMICSOther SpecimensConsisting of three simple components,this digitally based handheld RT-1 tester is faster, simpler,easier and more economical than older analog vibratortechnology. Meets ASTM C215 standard for resonancetesting of concrete for dynamic properties and freeze-thawdurability testing (ASTM C666). The dynamic Young’smodulus (E), shear modulus (G) and Poisson’s ratio (y) ofconcrete, rock, masonry, carbon and other cylinder, beamand core-shaped specimens can be obtained in seconds.The package includes a sample spreadsheet for all modulicalculations for longitudinal, flexural and torsional tests.KEY FEATURES• Accurate Results in Seconds!• Color Screen for Frequency Spectral Display• Learning curve: less than 10 minutes• Damping Calculation• Download & Analyze Data to Your PC via Serial Port• AC (100-240 VAC) or Rechargeable Battery Power• Option for Testing Smaller Rock Core Specimens• Quick & Easy Set Up: uses sponge rubber matinstead of metal test frame (per ASTM C215)shown: accelerometer12401 W. 49th Ave.Wheat Ridge, CO USA 80033ph: 303.423.1212fax: 303.423.6071www.<strong>Olson</strong><strong>Instruments</strong>.com
