Hello,
A rebar locator can definitely identify the presence of a Steel reinforcement rebar as well as its orientation inside the concrete surface.
A rebar locator itself indicates its meaning.
Actually, we can use a pulse indicator method which is totally based on electromagnetic pulse induction Technology to detect rebars.
Thank you.
