Corrosion Analysis – Canin+

Corrosion Analysis – Canin+

Corrosion Analysis allows the contractor to limit the maintenance tasks on reinforced concrete to the areas where it is really required. The Canin+ is the fastest instrument for corrosion analysis, offering a practical, cost-effective approach to the investigation of reinforced concrete.
The Canin+ combines two methods for corrosion analysis of concrete in one instrument:

  • Half-cell corrosion potential method: accurate field potential measurements aid in detecting active corrosion in rebars.
  • Concrete resistivity method: the instrument measures the specific electrical resistivity of concrete.

This combination of potential and resistivity measurement improves the information about the corrosion condition of the rebars.

Product Variations

Variations of the Canin+ are available depending on the accessories selected: 

  • Best corrosion analysis in areas below 20m2:
    Canin+ rod electrode for potential measurements
     
  • Best corrosion analysis in areas between 20m2 and 100m2:
    Canin+ with 1-wheel electrode for potential measurements
     
  • Best corrosion analysis in areas over 100m2:
    4-wheel electrode for potential measurements
     
  • Best for complementary diagnostics:
    Canin+ with Wenner probe for resistivity measurements
     

Features

  • Immediate presentation of test area and reading directly on the instrument’s display
  • Total memory for 235’000 readings which can be stored
  • For further analysis, the Canin ProVista Software allows downloading, presenting and editing data measured by the Canin+ half-cell instrument

Applications

  • Rapid analysis of  large areas using the 1- and the 4-Wheel Electrodes
  • Accurate location of areas of active rebar corrosion
  • Measurement of concrete resistivity to determine the probability of corrosion

Warranties

  • Standard 2-year limited warranty on electronic parts

  • Optional extended warranty periods up to 3 additional years
