Humboldt offers a large selection of rebar locators and concrete cover meters, from basic models to the latest in digital technology. We have rebar locators and cover meters to fit almost any application and budget from the largest manufacturers: Proceq and James. If you need a basic unit for locating places to drill, take a look at the new Profoscope (HC-2983). This meter, with its integral sensor can be held in one hand, and provides the unique ability to indicate the center point between two bars, thus indicating the place to drill. Check out all the rebar locators and their accessories below.

The Profoscope+ is a fully integrated rebar locator, which includes data storage and the ability to download data to a PC through the included ProfoLink software. The HC-2983A is a one-piece instrument that provides quick and accurate location of rebar and is ideally suited for those who are using rebar location for drilling and cutting operations. The unit's unique feature of being able to quickly find the center point between two bars allows operators to quickly locate a drilling location. The unit's memory provides two modes of operation: The manual data storage allows the user to save concrete cover and rebar diameter on individually chosen spots. The automatic data storage is especially designed for surface scans. Every time a rebar is detected, the cover value is stored automatically. The unit provides the storage of 49,500 total measurements. Conforms to ACI 318, BS 1881 Part 204.

The H-2981 Rebar Locator features a universal probe that allows you to measure both shallow and deep ranges at the push of a button. This gauge will locate, size and show bar orientation, as well as indicate concrete cover. In areas where adjacent and parallel bars effect readings, the operation can include a correction to isolate bars for more accurate diameter determinations. The operator can also include a correction factor for determining cover depth in congested bar arrangements. The H-2981 includes several optical and acoustical locating aids, one of which is a variable tone level that can be heard over the internal loudspeaker or on a headset. Highly accurate measurements and single-probe design makes this rebar locator an easy-to-use workhorse. Includes processing and report generation software. Conforms to ACI 318, BS 1881 Part 204.

The H-2974 Rebar Locator is the digital version of a classic rebar locator, rebar finder, which enables the user to locate reinforcement bars and determine their location and size. This gauge uses a single sensor for all depth ranges and can determine bar size with the use of the included spacer block. The unit can statistically analyze data, searching automatically for minimum cover points, and the least cover of a group of points. Cover points can be displayed as a symbolic map of a structure to assist the user in finding problematic areas. Built in memory can store over 80 thousand individual data points for processing and the LCD can be changed to daylight mode for easier viewing in bright sunlight. The optional scan cart and software can be used to graphically display a cross section of the concrete and the location of the metal objects within. With its built in encoder objects can be located with both distance and depth recorded. Basic unit includes: rebar locator, probe with 8 foot cable, spacer block, sizing template, charger, and headphones. Conforms to ACI 318, BS 1881 Part 204.
Range: Shallow - up to 3.75" (95mm); Deep - up to 7.00" (180mm); Narrow: up to 3.10" (80mm)
Bar Sizing: #2-18 (5-50mm) better than ±1 bar size
Display: LCD with backlight
Memory: 10 linear batches of 1,000 readings each
Data Output: RS232 interface
Power Supply: 7.4V lithium ion, 32 hrs/4 hr charge
Dimensions: 9 x 5.1 x 4.9" (230 x 130 x 125mm)

The HC-2974 is a rugged, digital, hand-held field instrument for finding the location and depth of reinforcement bars. The device is light weight and inexpensive, and an easy-to-use unit for locating rebar. Rebar detection of up to 10" (250mm) can be accomplished when locating large diameter rebar. An easy-to-read display and a 4 hr battery life are just a few advantages that make the HC-2974 one of the most advanced hand held units in the field today. The system allows the user to select between Imperial and Metric units, and the data can be saved in the instrument for later uploading to a computer. Data is saved in the unit with the date and time of the record to help identify prior tests. The eddy current sensor provides the ability to not only locate steel reinforcing bars accurately, but also tendons, copper tubing, conduit, and more. Built in memory can store over 150 individual data points for later processing. Conforms to ACI 318, BS 1881 Part 204.
