    Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity is a non-destructive testing method for concrete. It involves transmitting an ultrasonic pulse through concrete and measuring the pulse velocity. Higher pulse velocities indicate higher concrete quality. The test is described in standards like BS 1881 and ASTM C597. The document discusses factors that influence pulse velocity measurements like crack depth, temperature, and transducer positioning.
