T-Meter II overview
What it does
The T-Meter II is a superior portable surface finish classifier that
measures concrete surface finish with a 1 button click. Parameters Ra
and its derived parameters STG, CSP & Ft are displayed on a brightly
lit intuitive 2.4” LCD colour display. Its rechargeable battery operation
makes it a convenient way of performing fast, easy and precise on-
the-spot measurements in almost any environment.
How it does it
The hard-wearing diamond stylus is drawn across the surface with a
precision motorised traverse mechanism to ensure that the correct
horizontal distance is travelled. Vertical movement of the stylus is
detected by a high quality piezo-electric pick-up as it travels across
peaks and valleys which converts mechanical movement into electrical
signals. The electrical signal is digitised and sent to a microprocessor
for instant calculation of parameters using standardised algorithms.
Charging
The mini USB port can be used for charging with the included mains
charger (or with any standard USB charger).
