The temperature of concrete as it is discharged, of asphalt as it is laid, the humidity in the curing room, the pH and conductivity of the mixing water: all of these are measured with the thermometers, thermohygrometer, pH meters and conductivity meters in this section, in handheld or benchtop versions. Let us know which parameters you need to check.
| Parameter | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Non-contact temperature | Pocket infrared thermometer (with NTC sensor) or laser-sighted model, 10:1 optics |
| Temperature with a probe | 2-channel digital thermocouple, for asphalt, mortar and concrete |
| Relative humidity and temperature | Portable thermohygrometer with probe and case |
| pH | Pocket pH meter (0-14), digital with temperature, or portable pH-ORP meter |
| Conductivity, dissolved solids and salinity | Conductivity meter and waterproof EC-TDS meter |
| Several at once | Benchtop pH-EC-DO multiparameter meter |

With buffer solutions of known pH, usually 7.01 and 4.01 (and 10.01 if you are measuring in the alkaline range): the electrode is immersed in each one and the meter adjusts its response. It is best done before each series of measurements, and the electrode should be stored moist.
The ability of water to conduct electricity, which depends on the dissolved salts. From it, the meter calculates total dissolved solids (TDS) and salinity. In construction it is used to check the mixing water and the water used in tests.
An infrared thermometer measures the surface instantly and without contact, but it depends on the emissivity of the material and cannot see inside. For the temperature inside a mass of concrete or asphalt, a penetration probe with a thermocouple is used.
Because many standards set the conditions for testing or curing: cement and concrete specimens are cured at 20 °C and high humidity, and temperature changes the result of tests such as bitumen penetration.
The rest of the laboratory supplies are in general equipment.
