Concrete-damaging ASR causes roads to crumble, buildings to fall, and bridges to topple. Quite simply, ASR causes concrete to expand and crack.

Many materials engineers are currently laboring to cut and transport concrete samples back to the laboratory for testing. Now, with our new, on-site Spectroline ASR-260 field inspection kit, they can quickly and easily test concrete in the field!

By using readily available chemicals and reagents, the ASR-260 will instantly detect the presence of ASR in aggregates, aggregate sockets, air voids and fractures on externally formed surfaces of concrete. ASR damage is shown clearly with a bright yellow-green glow under UV light.
