Concrete Test
Hammer
|
|
The concrete test hammer was
developed by Ernst O. Schmidt and introduced by Proceq at
the
|
|
beginning of the 1950’s. It is without a doubt the most widely
used NDT measuring instrument for a
|
|
rapid assessment of the condition of a concrete structure.
Its application has extended over the
|
|
years to rock testing and paper roll hardness testing. The
latest edition to the hammer family is the
|
|
SilverSchmidt - the most advanced rebound hammer available.
|
|
|
|
Original Schmidt N/L
Series
|
|
The benchmark against which all
rebound hammers are compared and the basis of every international
|
|
rebound hammer standard. Available with different impact
energies to allow customers to test a wide
|
|
variety of materials and types of structure.
|
|
|
|
Original Schmidt Type
N/L
|
|
Measuring range 10 to 70 MPa (1,450
to 10,152 psi). The rebound value is read directly from the
|
|
scale. Typical applications are uniformity testing,
identification of areas of poor concrete quality and
|
|
compressive strength estimation. The type L Original Schmidt is
the ideal option for testing thin walled
|
|
items with a thickness between 50 to 100 mm (2 in. and 4
in.) or for analyzing small components. It is
|
|
also suitable for examining cast stone components which
are sensitive to impact. In rock mechanics,
|
|
the type L Original Schmidt is commonly used for the
classification of rock cores and brittle rock.
|
|
|
|
Type N
|
|
Standard impact energy 2.207 Nm
(1.63 lb ft). The test
object should have a min. thickness of
|
|
100 mm (3.9 in.) and be firmly
fixed in the structure.
|
|
|
|
Type L
|
|
Low impact energy 0.735 Nm (0.54 lb ft). For brittle objects and
structural units less than 100 mm
|
|
(3.9 in.) thick.
|
|
|
|
Anvil
|
|
All major standards recommend to
check the correct calibration of a Schmidt hammer on an anvil
|
|
prior to testing. Proceq anvils
are fully compliant with EN 12504-2.
