Concrete surface resistivity testing is a non-destructive and simple method for on-site evaluation of concrete. The Surface Resistivity (SR) test is a quick, proven method for estimating concrete permeability, and can replace the laborious rapid chloride permeability test. In other applications, measurements can show likelihood of corrosion, estimation of corrosion rate, curing efficiency, and predict structure durability.

During research and development prototypes of the Resipod were supplied to a number of state Departments of Transportation to ensure that its design and functionality were field-proven for reliability and durability. In a recent test study performed by one state highway department, the portable Resipod accomplished accurate concrete testing in minutes for what previously took days using other testing methods. A substantial savings in man hours was achieved from the drastic reduction of testing time and total hours required for testing versus the labor-intensive rapid chloride permeability testing method.
