Concrete cover meter (Product Code: SLE/CE/25) is a portable pulse-induction instrument used to locate reinforcing bars and measure the concrete cover over them during structural surveys and in civil engineering laboratories. Site engineers, testing labs and colleges use it for non-destructive checks; its standard search head identifies a 40 mm diameter bar up to about 95 mm deep. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Concrete cover — the depth of concrete between the surface and the nearest reinforcing bar — protects steel from corrosion and fire, so engineers check it on new work and during condition surveys. The cover meter also maps where bars run before core drilling, chasing or fixing anchors, so reinforcement is not cut by mistake.
Scan slowly across the expected bar direction and mark the peaks on the surface. The listed ranges show why bar size matters: a thin 8 mm bar is detectable only to about 70 mm, while a 40 mm bar can be found to about 95 mm. The earphone helps on noisy sites and the PC cable moves readings to a computer for reporting. Among test and measurement instruments in India, it is a standard tool for durability audits.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this concrete cover meter from Ambala, Haryana, to engineering colleges, testing laboratories, consultants, dealers and importers. The company sources the instrument and handles the quotation, packing and dispatch for buyers in India and international markets. Ask us before ordering if you need a spare battery pack or other accessories, and availability will be confirmed in the quotation. Company details are on the ScienceLab company profile.
Cover measurement is usually one part of a wider non-destructive assessment of a concrete structure.

What does the Concrete cover meter measure?
The Concrete cover meter locates steel reinforcing bars inside concrete and measures the cover, meaning the depth of concrete above each bar. It uses the pulse induction technique, so the check is non-destructive and needs no drilling.
How deep can the Concrete cover meter detect bars?
With its standard search head, the Concrete cover meter identifies a 40 mm diameter bar up to about 95 mm deep and an 8 mm bar up to about 70 mm deep. The search head has a sensing area of 120 × 60 mm.
What is supplied with the Concrete cover meter?
The Concrete cover meter comes with the main unit, standard search head, PC cable, battery pack and charger, shoulder strap, earphone, carry case and instruction manual, so it is ready for site surveys straight out of the case.
Is the Concrete cover meter suitable for site use?
Yes. The Concrete cover meter has a rugged, waterproof IP65 case with probe storage, a shoulder strap and a rechargeable battery pack that can be charged inside or outside the gauge, which suits work away from the laboratory.
Who supplies the Concrete cover meter?
The Concrete cover meter is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to laboratories, colleges, consultants, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Concrete cover meter?
