About

GroundLoop

Features
Read full description

GroundLoop is the grounding field companion for electrical engineers, contractors, and tower techs — fully offline, no account, no subscription. SOIL RESISTIVITY Enter Wenner four-pin or Schlumberger readings and get apparent resistivity per spacing instantly, with probe-depth correction, anomaly flags for layered soil, and a resistivity-vs-spacing curve you can read at the truck. ELECTRODE ESTIMATES Size a single rod, a multi-rod array, or a grid (Sverak screening formula) and compare against your target — 25 ohms (NEC 250.53), 5 ohms, or a custom spec. Every result shows the formula reference it came from. FALL-OF-POTENTIAL TESTS Enter your current-probe distance and GroundLoop lays out the 52/62/72% voltage-probe positions, then checks your three readings for a valid plateau — so a bad test gets caught in the field, not back at the office. FIELD REPORTS Export a clean PDF per site: resistivity tables, electrode estimates with formula references, fall-of-potential records, and date — ready for your project file. FREE TO TRY One site with every tool unlocked, reports watermarked. One-time purchase removes the watermark and the site limit. No subscription, ever. GroundLoop is a field calculation and recording aid. It encodes textbook formulas with cited references (values pending professional-engineer review are labeled in-app); it is not a substitute for a licensed PE's design, the governing standard, or required field verification.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ASIFlex Self Service at none against GroundLoop's 1. ASIFlex Self Service also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). GroundLoop's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
