Cover Display Screen
Alternative / Typical Data Review Screen View
Backlit screens for use in dark conditions
Easy to use menus, in multiple languages to enable access to all data needed whilst on site without constant reference to the instruction book
Alternative view shows the typical display when using the deep cover search head
Bar size and depth of cover can be manually inputted to suit specific requirements
Typical data review screen clearly displays where readings are below or above a user specified tolerance, where a reading has not been taken
Units of measurement can be displayed in mm or inches for cover, or mV for Half-Cell
Half-Cell Mode
Typical Screen View
Can read both Cover and Half-Cell Values
Data logging information displayed on screen
Menu soft keys are visible
Autosizing and Orthogonal Function
Autosizing automatically estimates the size of rebar and the depth of cover
If this estimated figure differs greatly from your expected rebar size or you do not know the expected rebar size, the orthogonal size function provides an accurate measurement of bar size
The step by step directions for orthogonal function on the covermeter make the accurate sizing of bars quick and easy
Data Logging Feature
Simple Data Management on the Elcometer 331 Models SH, TH and THD
The Elcometer 331 Model SH can store up to 10 batches of 1,000 cover or half-cell readings, with batch statistics, ready for evaluation and report generation using Covermaster™ software package
Powerful Statistics Feature
Continually calculates and displays the statistical analysis of readings as they are taken. So, while the covermeter is in use, you are always informed and know exactly how your site survey is progressing
Statistics values are also calculated for the readings within each batch and these values are stored in the batch along with all individual readings
