Concrete Cover Meter
Product Code : LSK-CL-10588
Concrete Cover Meter (SKU LSK-CL-10588) is a battery-powered rebar locator that measures the depth of concrete cover over reinforcement and estimates bar size. An onscreen gauge and audio feedback pinpoint each bar and its orientation, which suits survey and investigation work on structures as well as teaching labs. Testing laboratories, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can order the meter from Science Lab Supplies, which sends it out from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Accuracy, depth and spacing figures for the cover meter are broken out row by row. In short, cover is read to 0.1 mm resolution with ±1 mm accuracy up to 60 mm, bar size can be preset or detected automatically, and the 800 g meter runs 20 hours on battery.

Applications and Experiments for the Concrete Cover Meter
The meter is used to check whether reinforcement has enough concrete cover, to map bar positions before drilling or coring, and to estimate bar diameters during condition surveys. In education it supports non-destructive testing topics in civil engineering degrees and diplomas and inspection modules in construction-trade training.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete.
- Diploma civil engineering: checking cover against drawings, beside durability results from the Water Permeability Test Kit.
- TVET construction and inspection courses: locating rebar before drilling or coring.
- College condition surveys, paired with strength tests on the Motorized Compression/Tension Machine.
Standard Scope of Supply
The meter is supplied with a probe with integral cable, a spare probe sole-plate, a battery charger and a light, tough equipment bag. Any further accessories or documents offered for this model are listed item by item on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover a single meter or several for a testing lab, stating the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other concrete durability and strength testing equipment can go on the same quotation from one laboratory equipment supplier in India.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Survey teams and lecturers can put questions about the meter on the contact page, list it in the enquiry cart beside other test equipment, or consult the lab tender page when a tender is involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Concrete Cover Meter?
Cover accuracy is ±1 mm up to 60 mm, ±3 mm up to 160 mm and ±4 mm beyond 160 mm, with 0.1 mm resolution. Bar sizing accuracy ranges from ±0.5 mm to ±1.5 mm.
Does it need the bar size in advance?
No. The bar size can be preset when known or detected automatically, and absolute readings are available for non-standard bars, large pipes or prefabricated items.
How long does the battery last?
The meter runs for 20 hours on battery, and a battery charger is part of the supply along with the probe and its integral cable. Its operating weight is 800 g.
Who supplies it?
Supply is handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Testing laboratories, colleges and institutes can request pricing themselves, or receive it through the tender contractors and distributors who represent them.
