Description
The hammer measures the rebound of a spring-loaded mass impacting against the surface of the sample. The test hammer will hit the concrete at a defined energy. Its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the test equipment.
Schmidt hammers, or concrete test hammers, are used to determine in-place strength of concrete. All of the concrete rebound hammers we carry below accurately measure compressive strength of concrete, which directly determines the load-bearing capacity and durability of concrete structures. All models also include a grinding stone, carrying case and instruction booklet with conversion charts so you can quickly make determinations about the strength of concrete structures, like bridges, parking decks, commercial structures and pre cast concrete structures
