Thermographic result of a pillar .
The thermographic test can display a thermal
images of the materials present in a investigated
element, using the principle of different natural
thermal emission in the infrared spectral band.
They are conducted with the use of a camera, that
measures the temperature of bodies at a distance,
without physical contact between measuring
equipment and the surface investigated. It
depends on each material continuously emits
energy in form of radiation and elettromagnetic
waves, in proportion to its surface
temperature. They can be used to locate hidden
structures (pre-existing forms, structural
changes, abnormalities construction, presence of
cavities), and degradation (pad humidity, heat
loss).

ENDOSCOPY
Modular endoscopy (boroscopy) PCE-E 122 with
eyepiece for eyeglass attachment of L 100 cm
and 60 field of view,front lens for vision
with adjustable light intensity.

Execution of an endoscpy in a wooden beam
The endoscope is a diagnostic investigation
microinvasive instruments, useful to watch inside
an investigated element, through a hole diameter
not exceeding 12 mm. This instrument consists of
a monocle zoom and focus, connected to a digital
camera connected to a side view lens with 90 or
60 front. The endoscope is thus able to observe
a structure inside and documented the conditions
of conservation through photos of the need to
make a hole but does not make it suitable to make
an extensive campaign.

PACOMETER COVERMASTER CM9
Precision digital detector magnetometric with
microprocessorwith IP54 protection and complies
with international BS1881 204 and DGZfP B2

Execution of a pacometer test
The pacometer is used to locate the presence of
metallic elements, mainly associated with
reinforcement of concrete structures reinforced
concrete, defining position geometric diameter of
sections of bars and brackets and thickness of
concrete cover. It is also used to locate
metallic elements in general (in chains and metal
plates, pipes, plants, etc.).

HAMMER SCHMIDT MODEL NR
Hammer for hardened normal concrete,with
automatic device for recording on the diagram of
values of impact. Energy Impact 2207 N / m.
Calibration Anvil Model NR

Execution of a sclerometric test
The hammer is a mechanical instrument that with a
impact body hits the material under investigation
with an energy defined and rebounds with a speed,
that depends on the hardness of the same
material the rebound through a conversion table
test determines the compressive strength of
concrete surface. The hammer allows a
non-destructive testing of compressive strength
of concrete surface and its decay behavior,
depending on the levels of material degradation.

ULTRASONIC TESTER
Portable digital ultrasonic tester DSP System
for measurement of characteristic values of
materials through use of ultrasonic pulses in
direct conversation with microprocessor and
frontal LCD display

Execution of a no conventional ultrasonic test in
a vault
The method is based on the phenomenon of
reflection acoustic wave undergoes when goes in a
material or in an obstacle. If this obstacle is
normal to the direction of propagation of this
back to the source that had generated. The waves
are created artificially by special sources,
usually piezoelectric transmitter, the parameter
measured is the time, called the flight time
required for ultrasonic signal (or sonic) to
cross the test material. Propagation depends on
the density and elastic properties of the
material. Investigations ultrasonic used to
determine the speed of transit of waves inside
the concrete and ultimately provide the E of
concrete. These tests are also used to locate
faults in materials such as cracks, holes,
porosity discontinuities in the material
investigated. In these circumstances the waves
are reflected and refracted waves.

RESISTOGRAPH
IML RESI F400 Resistograph with standard storage
units continues to 22m,drilling depth 385 mm,
Bosch battery drill and 12VES2

Execution of a resistographic test
The resistograph (wood penetrometer) is a
micro-invasive investigative technique useful for
qualitative assessment of the degradation of wood
components. Proof is based on the resistance to
puncture the opposite wood and suspect you can
make a diagnosis in situ areas of internal decay
of the material investigated. The puncture
resistance depends mainly on the density of wood
and is evaluated by measuring the energy used by
the instrument for the advancement of the tip of
a thin steel thickness of about 3 mm at a
constant speed. The instrumentation consists of a
sophisticated drill that, with a sharp point,
taking a combined movement of rotation and
advancement. The tip then penetrates into the
wood at constant speed to a maximum thickness of
40 cm, leaving no significant signs.

PILODY
Mechanical penetrometer Proceq 6J-Forestwith
integrated depth gauge and depth of penetration
up to 40 mminterchangeable needle of 5 mm in
diameter

Execution of a pilodyn test
The Pilodyn is a dynamic tool for penetrating the
cortical portion of wood and the tests consists
in to project a thin metal probe in the wood and
its depth of penetration is function of
mechanical strength characteristic of the
investigated wooden element and of the level of
degradation in investigated material point. The
tool can evaluate the surface hardness of the
examined wood.

datalogger
Datalogger MAGIANT MagLog USB C RH Technical
Specifications range of temperature measurement
(C) -2 85 range of relative humidity
measurement RH 0 100 precision 0,5C/

sec/24h

Performing measurements in a confined environment
The dataloggers are tools used for investigations
relating to the monitoring of the microclimate in
confined spaces and artworks. They are automatic
data loggers (for temperature and relative
humidity) that store the measurement of one or
more parameters, made at appropriate time
intervals determined. Among the advantages of
the datalogger than traditional tape recorders
are surely to be counted large memory capacity
(and so large autonomy), amplitude of the ranges,
small size, ability to manage the alert
thresholds, accuracy of measurements, very low
maintenance, versatility of use, cost management
(usually contained).
