Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Test – Concrete The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity test is a non-destructive test (NDT) used to check the quality, uniformity, and integrity of concrete. ⸻ Purpose • Detect cracks, voids, honeycombing • Assess concrete quality & uniformity • Estimate relative strength (not exact compressive strength) • Check deterioration in existing structures #ultrasonicvelocitytest #concrete #construction | CivilEngineer

Performing Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Test during a Structural Audit exercise of an existing building. The aim is to establish the consistency of concrete of structural elements on site. Captured in the footage is an active structural retrofit site in Kiambu 🇰🇪 code named Project Lazarus. The aim is to establish: 1. The homogeneity of the concrete 2. The presence of cracks, voids and other imperfections 3. Changes in the structure of the concrete which may occur with time 4. The quality o
