Ultrasonic Velocity Measurement The RCUVS-300 Ultrasonic Velocity Measurement System is a turnkey system that includes everything required to perform Ultrasonic Velocity measurements on laboratory specimens. The new hardware and software utilize the latest technology to allow for precise determination of compression (P) and shear (S or S₁ & S₂) wave velocities.
The RCUVS-300 system uses a fast-acting pulser that provides excitation to the ultrasonic sensor and a very high-speed analog-to-digital converter to store the resulting waveforms signals.
When used with a RIGCHINA system, wave velocity measurements can be taken while performing other test procedures, such as triaxial or unconfined compression tests. The ultrasonic data can be collected at any specified interval, such as time, stress, strain or any other test parameter. The RCUVS-300 can also be used with RCVA-100 Circumferential Velocity Anisotropy Apparatus to determine the compression and shear wave velocities in rock core specimens in different orientations to map anisotropy.
RIGCHINA offers a wide variety of transducers to perform ultrasonic velocity measurements on differently sized test specimens in a variety of conditions.
