Rebar Location and Concrete Cover Measurement (Cover Meter Test)

The Cover Meter Test is a non-destructive method used to locate embedded reinforcing bars (rebars) and measure the concrete cover provided for corrosion protection. Accurate cover measurement is essential to evaluate compliance with design specifications and ensure long-term durability of reinforced concrete elements.

Cover meters operate on electromagnetic principles, detecting variations in magnetic fields caused by embedded steel. The test provides both positioning and depth of cover data and is widely used during quality control, structural audits, and pre-core drilling assessments.
