UltraTestLab© - Control and Evaluation Software
• Intuitive operating concept with a clearly arranged user interface
• Measurement duration: 15 minutes - 31 days
• Measurement interval: 1 second - 60 minutes
• During measurement simultaneously visible:
1. Speed in m/s or runtime in μs
2. Curve derivation (acceleration) and curvature
3. Temperature inside the sample (-20 ... +125 °C)
4. Shrinkage/swelling by connection of “shrinkage grooves” (optional)
• Comparable against reference measurements
• Reproduction of characteristic points such as initial set and final set with graphic markers
• Permissible deviations definable with envelopes
• Evaluation, Excel export and printouts possible during measurement
• Automatic logging of all measurements
• Dynamic E-modulus calculation and display
• Option: external temperature measurement by thermocouples (-40 ... 1820 °C)
• Option: measurement of shrinkage/swelling by connection of ”shrinkage grooves”

Dynamic E-Modulus
Dependency of Ultrasonic Speed and Poisson Ratio µ
Formular for the calculation of thedynamic elastic modulus:
Edyn = v² * ρ * k
k = (1 + μ) * (1 - 2μ) / (1 - μ)
µ= POISSON‘s figure(poisson ratio)
v= Velocity of sound in [m/s] ρ= Density of the sample in [kg/dm³]
I most cases the estimated value of μ ≈ 0.2 can be assumed for cement and mortar
The dynamic E-modulus is only defined for hard materials. Calculations for fresh mortar do not deliver valid values.
