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.

Concrete strength and uniformity evaluation using patented optical rebound hammer technology Schmidt hammers by Proceq, the inventor of rebound hammer technology, have long been the global benchmark for non-destructive compressive strength estimation. Silver Schmidt OS8200 is as accurate, reliable, and versatile as ever - and now, connected, thanks to its optical measurement technology paired with digital productivity features and user-friendly mobile apps. Our patented optical technology delivers compressive strength measurements with a higher range and far lower dispersion than any classical rebound hammer; and our versatile connectivity increases operator productivity and makes instantaneous reporting possible, from anywhere, anytime. Strength estimation at a fraction of the cost and lead time, and without the mess of coring Best-in-class strength correlation Applicable from fresh to high strength concrete Instant report generation on the go Long service intervals Combination With Other Methods - Ultrasonic pulse velocity (SONREB) with Pundit 200 Connected digital hammer with instantaneous reporting and data sharing thanks to a user-friendly mobile app (Apple® iOS or Android™) Stand-alone digital hammer with automatic calculation of the rebound value. Digital hammer wirelessly connected to a Bluetooth printer for direct print-out of test result Silver Schmidt accuracy - The Q-value brings greater accuracy at higher strengths. Independent testing by the German Committee for Structural Concrete and the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und Prüfung (BAM) has consistently demonstrated that the Q-value featured in Silver Schmidt OS8200 is much better suited for working with high strength concrete. Furthermore, similar studies carried out in Germany, China and Japan have proven that the Q-value delivers tighter, more accurate correlations for custom material curves. Original Schmidt Live mobile app Flexibility for all applications - Correlation to custom materials in accordance with major standards. Apply user defined corrections for carbonation, form factors, etc. Compliance to standards - Select standard units and form factor. Hammer verification management according to requirements of major standards. Automated EN13791 test region screening test report Collaboration and reporting - Visual report generation using lists, bar charts and statistics. Single and multiple series export in PDF or CSV format. Logbook annotations for full traceability (geolocation, text, images, voice)
