Masonry Tester

A new low frequency ultrasonic instrument called the "V" scope for quality testing of masonry and concrete construction by James Electronics Inc., Instrument Division, Chicago. The model C-4960 "V" scope uses an ultrasonic pulse signal to identify quality of outside and inside masonry walls. It can detect voids in the grout area and to insure full head joints. It can be used to measure, on the job, the quality of the mortar to insure uniformity and provide an estimate of final strength.

The ultrasonic signal from the transmitter on the "V" scope passes through the masonry wall. As voids in the mortar are encountered, the signal circles around the area resulting in a reduction in velocity and signal strength. This change in velocity is directly readable by the operator resulting in a complete quality measurement of the construction.

The "V" scope is designed for field use and is ruggedly constructed. It measures 8½" x 11" x 15" and weighs 23 pounds. Power is from a 117 volt, 50/60 cps commercial source and the instrument consumes 100 watts.
