 SYSTEM OVERVIEW KSE Testing Equipment

The MIT-SCAN2-BT sensor system

provides nondestructive testing of
dowel bars in plain concrete pavements.
Using a rail-gliding measuring carriage,
all deviations of bar positions from the
specified position can be determined
quickly, precisely and cost-effectively.

Concrete covering, translations,

deviations, skew and tilt from the
prescribed orientation of the dowel and
tie bars can be determined within
tenths of an inch precision.

 PRINCIPLES OF THE TECHNOLOGY KSE Testing Equipment

• The device functions according to the

principles of pulse-induction. Its
transmitter sends a weak, pulsating
magnetic signal.
• The magnetic field is harmless to the
surrounding area and does not affect the
physical properties of the dowels or of the
concrete.
• Similarly Concrete properties do not affect
the signal or results (i.e. amount of
moisture in the concrete).

 PRINCIPLES OF THE TECHNOLOGY KSE Testing Equipment

• When the magnetic field comes into

contact with metallic objects, it induces
eddy currents inside of them. The
currents cause magnetic response signals
and these magnetic signals are then
measured by receivers inside the testing
device, and evaluated.
• The measured values are recorded every
20 milliseconds. They are collected in
large quantities for a mathematical
evaluation.

 DOWEL BAR ORIENTATION KSE Testing Equipment

ORIENTATION OF BARS & DATA TERMINOLOGY

• The direction of the road way is the “y” axis and the direction of the joint is the “x” axis and
the depth is the “z” axis. Clockwise rotation for Skew or Tilt is recorded as a positive number.

Plan View:

Horizontal Skew
(Misalignment) Longitudinal Translation
(Side Shift)

Cross Section:

 INFLUENCES ON RESULTS KSE Testing Equipment

• Remove any debris, snow or ice covering the surface to be

measured.
• Vehicles and Construction Equipment should not be within
6 feet and 11 feet of the measurement device.
• Operators with steel-toe shoes should remain the length of
the pulling rope from the device.
• Metal in or under the concrete pavement will influence
results. Such as:
– Reinforcing Steel in the Paving
– Conduits
– Direct Buried Cables
– Expansion Joint Frames
– Manholes & Inlet Grates

 ASSEMBLING THE RAIL SYSTEM KSE Testing Equipment

• The rail system is made out of glass fiber-

reinforced plastic.
• Individual segments can be joined to reach
a maximum length of 10 meters (32.8 ft),
which permits a measurement across
multiple lanes in one step.
• Due to the light weight of the rail system
and the measuring device, the rails can lie
directly upon the concrete surface while
measuring curved surfaces including crowns

kesslerdcp.com A Leading Manufacturer & Distributor of Testing Equipment for Soils, Asphalt & Concrete Pavements in Highways & Airfields
 ASSEMBLING THE RAIL SYSTEM KSE Testing Equipment

• The cross-ties have a center line to be

aligned with the joint and wheels at one
end for easy movement to another joint
when the rails are installed.
• The measuring vehicle is pulled manually
by a nonmetallic cord over the rails with a
speed between 10 and 20 inches per
second.

 MOVING THE RAIL SYSTEM KSE Testing Equipment

• Once Assembled, then movement

from joint to joint can be done in
one piece with the wheels on the
cross ties.
• It is recommended that one
person per 15 feet of connected
rail to raise one side and move to
the next joint.

 CASIO IT600 OR IT800 KSE Testing Equipment

• While the operator moves the measuring

device on tracks along the joint, all
measurement data is recorded and saved
in a hand held POCKET PC (CASIO IT600
or IT800) . After the end of the joint is
reached, the exact positions and
alignments of the dowel bars regarding
the concrete surface and the joint
position are computed within seconds.
