Pundit PL-200
The Pundit PL-200 continue the illustrious Pundit
tradition that began in the 1970s. The first to use a new
generation touchscreen display unit. The control unit is
also fully compatible with the Ultrasonic Pulse Echo
transducer, with more details at the dedicated page.
The pulse velocity in a material depends on its density and

its elastic properties. These in turn are related to the
quality and the strength of the material. The world known
Pundit range offers users a reliable and accurate method
for determining the sonic properties of materials.
Test Method Applications

Ultrasonic testing in its most basic mode is called time of  The homogeneity of a material
flight. This refers to timing the arrival of an ultrasonic  The presence of voids, cracks or other internal
pulse from one transducer to another through a solid imperfections or defects
medium.  Changes in the concrete which may occur
with time (i.e. due to the cement hydration)
The ultrasonic pulse in standard operation is a p-wave (or or damage from fire, frost or chemical attack
compression wave). The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) is  The strength or modulus of a material
calculated by dividing the distance between the  The quality of the concrete in relation to
transducer by the time of arrival. specified standard requirements
Transmission Modes
The Pundit PL-200 offers three methods of transmission. Features
These can be seen in the image below. The method of
transmission is determined by access to the concrete  Housing specially designed to be used on-site
elements surfaces and the characteristic being tested in harsh environments
 Screen with highest resolution and sharpest
image available in the market allowing best
possible analysis of the measured waveforms
 Settings directly accessible on measuring
screen
 On board storage and review of waveforms
 Automatic and manual triggering and user
adjustable trigger threshold
 Modular concept: Expandable with all Proceq
Pulse Velocity and Pulse Echo transducers,
upcoming Pundit ultrasonic products will be
directly compatible.

PL Link Analysis Software
The Windows based PL Link allows data review and
retrospective adjustment of measurement setting. It is
also used to load strength conversion curves into the
system.
Comprehensive Measurement Modes
NEW - Area Scan

Area scans combine distance, pulse velocity and
transmission time measurement mode of the Pundit PL.
Scan results can now be displayed as a coloured contour
map. The visualisation supports full review of individual
measurements.
Line Scans
Assesses the concrete uniformity and detects cracks as
well as other defects. The measured pulse velocities are
displayed as a line which will change with thickness or
where defects or cracks are located.
Pulse Velocity / Transmission Time / Distance

Calculates the pulse velocity of the material under test
with zoom and scroll for precise A-Scan inspection.
Supports an update rate of up to 25Hz.
Compressive Strength
Determines compressive concrete strength via Ultrasonic
Pulse Velocity correlation, or by using SONREB which
combined Schmidt hammer tests with UPV testing.
Crack Depth
Determines the depth of perpendicular cracks according
to BS 1881. This measures surface velocity and compares
changes with distance from the crack.
Surface Velocity
Improved surface velocity measuring.
Determines surface velocity according to BS 1881.
