Hardening Concrete |

1. The Invention |
|
|
Title ConSensor Strength Sensor for Hardening Concrete The problem the
inventor(s) wanted to solve For builders it is important to know the
strength of concrete while it is curing (hardening). Existing methods (maturity
system) are not very accurate and unpractical to use. Description. An electrode with temperature sensor is embedded in the concrete
when it is poured. An (external) sensor attached to the electrodes measures
temperature and conductivity of curing concrete. The data are sent (GPRS) to
a web server which calculates the strength. The builder can see the strength
development on a private page on the website. Presentation. See illustration (below) Fields of
application (maximum 2 lines) Construction
industry, production of concrete products such as sewage pipes, floor
elements etc. Advantages Information about the development of the strength of
young concrete (1 – 28 days) is the basis for decision making about removing
of formwork or the application of pre-stresses. ConSensor offers the most
reliable non destructive method for determining the strength, independent of
the weather and other environmental conditions. Stage of
development. pre-production
