Material Testing

The James Instruments V-Meter MK IV System with Transducers, is an ultra-sonic test system for accurately indentifying basic characteristics of coarse grained materials such as concrete, wood, masonry, caramic, graphite and more.

• Locate honey combs, voids and cracks in different materials
• Find hidden areas of rotting wood and determine Young's Modulus
• Direct read-outs of transient time and wave form on backlit LCD
• Rugged and splash resistant case is built for tough construction environments

Next generation sonic sifter. The VariSifter is a feature rich particle separator for high precision, repeatability, and capable of achieving separations ranging from 5.6 mm to 3 µm. Commonly used in laboratory, research and quality assurance applications.

• Color Touch-Screen Panel
• Adjustable Frequency & Amplitude Control
• Built-In Horizontal Tappers
• Internal Universal Power Converter (100 to 240 Vac 50/60 Hz)
• Uses 3" Diameter Clear Acrylic Test Sieves

The James Instruments Vu-Con Impact Echo System, is used to determine the quality and thickness of concrete and masonry structures.

• Accurately determines concrete thickness without severe damage
• Quickly locates delaminations and voids in concrete slabs & structures
• Large easy to view display for data analysis on site and in daylight
• Data can be stored and uploaded to a PC for later analysis
• Rugged design for field use

The James Instruments Windsor HP Probe System, is designed to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete. The system rapidly and accurately determines the concrete compressive strength of a structure by driving a probe into the concrete with a known amount of force; the shallower the depth of probe penetration, the stronger the concrete.

• New electronic measuring system enhances accuracy and efficiency
• Non-destructive and can be used with equal effectiveness on fresh and mature concrete
• Measurement to 17,000 psi (110 MPa)
• Memory for data storage and uploading to PC
• Does not allow for accidental discharge (even when dropped) and does not have recoil

The James Instruments Windsor Pin Test System, is used to measure the strength of new or existing construction materials in-situ utilizing the established principle of resistance to penetration.

• Portable and completely self-contained
• Test new concrete products and structures for early strength
• Evaluate the in-situ strength in existing structures, e.g., after suspected fire damage
• Test strength of block, brick, and mortar joints within an existing structure, e.g., load bearing walls
• Test polymer concrete and patching compound

The James Instruments Windsor Probe Manual System, is designed to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete. The system rapidly and accurately determines the concrete compressive strength of a structure by driving a probe into the concrete with a known amount of force; the shallower the depth of probe penetration, the stronger the concrete.

• Non-destructive and can be used with equal effectiveness on fresh and mature concrete
• Measurement to 10,000 psi (68.9 Mpa)
• Safe and reliable
• Does not allow for accidental discharge (even when dropped) and does not have recoil
