The quality of concrete is mainly judged by its compressive strength directly affecting the load-bearing capacity and durability of concrete structures. Proceq invented the Original Schmidt, the worlds first and now most widely used test hammer for analyzing the compressive strength of concrete properties.
The Original Schmidt will hit the concrete at a defined energy whereas its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the instrument. The Original Schmidt is available in models with different impact energies, each test hammer designed for a specific test application, in order to meet the needs of the customers to investigate a wide range of material types and sizes, such as bridge decks, thin walls, cast stone components or small components.
Type N Original Schmidt: Rebound values are read from a scale for subsequent calculation of the mean. Compressive strength values can be read from a conversion diagram
Applications:The Original Schmidt is used for the non-destructive measurement of the concrete/mortar compressive strength characteristicsControl of uniform concrete qualityDetection of weak spots in the concreteThe type L/LR Original Schmidt operates with significant lowerimpact energy, making this test hammer 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 suitable for examining cast stone components which are sensitive to impact. In rock mechanics, the type L/LR Original Schmidt is commonly used for the classification of rock cores and brittle rock
Package includes:
Original Schmidt Concrete Test Hammer Type N Impact Device & Carry Case including grinding stone, User Manual and Calibration Certificate
