Concrete Cover Meter
Product Code : LSK-CL-10588
Concrete Cover Meter (SKU LSK-CL-10588) is a hand-held, battery-powered rebar locator that measures the depth of concrete cover over reinforcement and estimates bar size. An onscreen gauge and audio feedback pinpoint each bar and its orientation, which suits survey and investigation work on structures as well as teaching labs. Science Lab Supplies supplies the meter from Ambala, India to colleges, training institutes, testing laboratories, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Cover is read to 0.1 mm resolution, with accuracy of ±1 mm up to 60 mm cover. Bar size can be entered when known or detected automatically, and for non-standard bars or pipes the meter can show absolute readings for use with custom tables. It weighs 800 g and runs 20 hours on battery.

Applications and Experiments for the Concrete Cover Meter
The meter is used to check whether reinforcement has enough concrete cover, to map bar positions before drilling or coring, and to estimate bar diameters during condition surveys. In education it supports non-destructive testing topics in civil engineering degrees and diplomas and inspection modules in construction-trade training.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete.
- Diploma civil engineering: checking cover against drawings.
- TVET construction and inspection courses: locating rebar before drilling or coring.
- Condition surveys in college project work.
Standard Scope of Supply
The meter is supplied with a probe with integral cable, a spare probe sole-plate, a battery charger and a light, tough equipment bag. Any further accessories or documents offered for the model are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover a single meter or several for a testing lab, stating the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other concrete durability equipment can go on the same quotation from one laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Concrete Cover Meter?
Cover accuracy is ±1 mm up to 60 mm, ±3 mm up to 160 mm and ±4 mm beyond 160 mm, with 0.1 mm resolution. Bar sizing accuracy ranges from ±0.5 mm to ±1.5 mm.
Does it need the bar size in advance?
No. The bar size can be preset when known or detected automatically, and absolute readings are available for non-standard bars, large pipes or prefabricated items.
How long does the battery last?
The meter runs for 20 hours on battery and a charger is included. At 800 g it is light enough for long site surveys.
Who supplies it?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the Concrete Cover Meter from Ambala, India, quoting to institutions directly and through tender contractors and distributors.
