Chloride Test System
C-CL-2000
The C-CL-2000 produces results on-site, within minutes that are accurate and comparable to expensive laboratory tests. It measures the electrochemical reaction of a weighted sample placed in an extraction liquid. It automatically shows a temperature compensated reading of percent of chlorides on its digital display. A wide range - from 0.002 to 2% chloride by weight - is covered.

Hand Held Microwave Moisture MeterFor Water/Cement Ratios of Fresh Concrete
Cementometer
The James Cementometer represents a break-through in modern moisture measurement technology. By utilizing the latest microwave and microprocessor science, the Cementometer can determine the moisture content of freshly mixed cement, concrete, and mortar. Simply insert the prongs of the probe into the material to be measured and instantaneously the water cement ratio is shown on the easy to read display.

Resonant Frequency Testing
E-Meter MK II™
Determines resonant frequencies of the three modes of vibration. Material characteristics such as Youngs Modulus of Elasticity, Modulus of Rigidity, Poissons Ratio and Damping Constant can be calculated. Frequencies are automatically scanned in one of four ranges. The system can determine flexural resonance of concrete under accelerated freezing and thawing cycles and aggressive environments.

Determines Presence of Carbonation on Concrete Samples
Carbo Detect System™
Carbo Detect is a simple colored dye field test for detecting carbonation. The single reagent is sprayed on the surface to be checked. The reagent will change to pink in uncarbonated concrete and remain colorless when sprayed on carbonated concrete.

Testing Tensile Strength of Overlays, and Overlayments
James Bond Test ™ MK III
The James Pull Off Adhesion/Bond Tester measures the pull force used to pull a 2? or 3? disc away from the material being tested. This pressure is displayed on a precision gauge and can be related directly to the strength of the adhesion to the surface being tested.

Moisture Master
T-M-170
The James Instruments Moisture Master utilizes the latest electronic technology to measure the quantity of water within its sensing field. The unit has two modes of operation the pin mode, and search mode. In the pin mode, two pins are pushed into the material and a high frequency field is created between these two pins.

Air and Water Permeability in Concrete Both At and Below the Surface
Poroscope
Poroscope Plus measures the time it takes for air to flow into a known volume of a sealed, evacuated chamber in the concrete. While the vacuum reduces from -55 Kpa to -50 Kpa, a measure of air permeability is determined. For water permeability, Poroscope Plus uses the same chamber filled with water, and measures the total time in seconds for a volume of 0.01 ml of water to escape.

Testing Released Water Vapor
Humiditest™ Complete System
The James Instruments Humitest System allows the concrete practitioner to monitor and ensure that a new structure is dry enough to proceed with the next phase of construction. This is especially critical for concrete structures requiring a coating, carpeting or similar floor or covering treatment. Installing such treatments before the concrete is sufficiently dry will typically cause expensive failures in the covering treatment. The only accurate way to ensure that the concrete is sufficiently dry enough to safely avoid expensive re-work is via a bore hole humidity test system, such as the Humitest System
