Abstract
The present invention uses a magnetic source and pressure sensors mounted against a surface. Based on the mass of metal inside a volume, the magnetic source is attracted to the surface and exerts pressure on the pressure sensor that is proportional to the mass of metal being detected. An electronic device reads the pressure value and uses the information to quantify the metal in the surface or inside the volume of the construction component.
