Construction Material Testing and Quality Control Standards

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Testing

The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) test is a non-destructive method used to determine the quality, homogeneity, and strength of concrete. In this test, ultrasonic pulses are passed through the concrete, and the travel time of these pulses is measured. The velocity depends on the density and elasticity of the concrete.

  • High velocity: Indicates good quality, dense, and uniform concrete.
  • Low velocity: Shows cracks, voids, or poor quality.

This test helps in assessing
