| SilverSchmidt Concrete Test Hammer: EN12504-2 (European Standard), JGJ/T 23-2001 (Chinese Standard), ASTM C 805 (North American Standard) |
The Silver Schmidt OS8200 is as accurate, reliable, and versatile as ever - and now, connected, thanks to its optical measurement technology delivering Q-value measurements, paired with digital productivity features and user-friendly mobile apps.
The classic Original Schmidt hammer is the basis of every major rebound hammer testing standard worldwide. There are various models with different impact energies to cover a wide range of applications. They have a proven durability and quality compared with low cost copies. |

Features
| Original Schmidt Concrete Test Hammer |
Type N Schmidt Test Hammer is designed for testing concrete items 4” (100 mm) or more in thickness, or concrete with a maximum particle size less than or equal to 1.25” (32 mm). Type N hammer is also used for the testing of massive rock. Impact energy is 1.6 ft-lbs (2.207 Nm). Units have 1,450 psi to 18,150 psi (10 to 70 N/mm2) compressive strength. Testing Standards for N: ASTM C 805, D5873; BS 1881: Part 202
Type L Schmidt Test Hammer operates with significant lower impact energy, making this hammer the ideal option for testing thin walled items with a thickness between 2” and 4” (50 to 100 mm) or for testing small components. The Type L is suitable for testing cast stone components which are sensitive to impact. In rock mechanics, the Type L hammers are commonly used for
classification testing of rock cores and brittle rock. Testing Standards for L: ASTM D5873; ISRM Suggested Method for Rebound Index of Rock Cores |
| Traditional Hammers vs. SilverSchmidt |
The classical hammers suffer from the following insufficiencies: |
- The rebound value is dependent on the impact direction.
- The rebound value is affected by internal friction.
- Limited tightness of sealing causes premature loss of accuracy.
|
| The unique design and high quality construction of the SilverSchmidt address all of these issues and makes rebound hammer testing quicker and more accurate than ever before. |

Models:
- ST - Standard Model. Software provided for performing firmware upgrades and selecting presets only.
- PC - Extended Memory Usage. Custom curves. Download to PC. Full Hammerlink Software functionality.
- N-Type - Standard Impact Energy. The test object should have a minute thickness of 100 mm and be firmly fixed in the structure.
- L-Type - Low Impact Energy. Suitable for brittle objects or structures less than 100 mm thick.
Ergonomics: The SilverSchmidt body lies very comfortably in the hand. The display is highly readable under any conditions.
Robustness: A two-layer seal prevents dust and dirt from penetrating to the interior of the instrument.
Impact direction independence: The forward and the rebound velocity of the hammer mass are both measured in close proximity to the point of impact. The rebound value requires no angular correction.
Measurement accuracy and repeatability: The new measurement principle and the design of the mechanics
enable the SilverSchmidt to ouperform its predecessors.
Objective evaluation: A larger number of measurement points can be easily collected by the instrument and automatically evaluated according to statistical criteria.
PC connection: The application “Hammerlink” allows all data to be uploaded via USB. Firmware upgrades
are also possible over this connection.
Improved Performance: Two factors contribute to the improved performance of
the SilverSchmidt over its predecessors: Velocity based detection of the rebound quotient. The lightweight hybrid design of the impact plunger
is made from aerospace alloy, matched to the elastic
properties of the concrete and equipped with a hardened
steel cap.
Intuitive User Interface: The language independent user interface is simple to use and provides all of the functionality necessary for a rapid assessment of the structure. An inclination sensor allows the user to navigate from left to right within the menu. By depressing the single push-button (SELECT), the particular function is activated.
The menu structure is simple, similar to the interface of a mobile phone. Practically every command can be activated either directly or via no more than 2 consecutive steps.
Data Acquisition and Processing: Pre-programmed statistical methods in-line with all of the major standards allows an error-free, rapid determination of the rebound value. Summary views in Hammerlink make uniformity testing a simple matter. Reduced dispersion and direct conversion to compressive strength based on validated curves, regional curves or user defined curves bring improved accuracy to compressive strength estimates. |

Instructions for Use
To operate the concrete test hammer first place the impact plunger against test surface and apply pressure until plunger disappears; the hammer will release.
The scale pointer reading gives rebound value in percent of the forward movement of the hammer mass. |
