Abstract:
Contractors will occasionally need to locate reinforcing bars in a concrete structure without also needing to determine cover depth or bar size. A device that can serve that purpose is the MetalliScanner® m40—an inexpensive, easy to use metal locator. Based on trials completed in the United States and Ethiopia, the MetalliScanner m40 was able to locate small bars with cover of up to 3 in. (75 mm).
