Concrete Test Hammer
Standards
ASTM C805 EN 12504:2
A concrete test hammer is very important in conducting non-destructive testing procedures on concrete structures. Very commonly used for the determination of compressive strength in hardened concrete, it fits perfectly for both field and site testing as well as finished structures testing. A concrete test hammer provides precise and reliable results, which is why specialists of construction, civil engineering, and quality control cannot do without it.
The Concrete Test Hammer works on the principle that the rebound of a spring-driven plunger after impact upon the concrete surface measures the compressive strength of it. This measurement of the rebound value and further determination of the compressive strength of the concrete, within international standards such as those found in ASTM C805 and EN 12504-2, ensures that the hammer delivers results in accordance with the requirements of that particular industry.
Features of the Concrete Test Hammer
Precision Hammer: The concrete test hammer is a very precise tool used in testing concretes ranging from 10 to 70 N/mm² in strength. As it is made from high-quality aluminum that ensures its durability, it produces an exact measurement.
Versatility: With the ability to penetrate through a large series of materials including concrete and mortar, this hammer was suitable for on-site tests as well as a laboratory.
Digital forms: Advanced types, such as the Digital Concrete Test Hammer, contain microprocessors that store and show test results graphically. Such test results can easily be transferred into a PC for further analysis, thereby optimizing data handling and reporting abilities.
Easy calibration: Equipped with a calibration curve, this test hammer gives accurate reproducible readings on various surfaces and test conditions.
Applications of Concrete Test Hammer
On-site testing: This concrete test hammer is the best for field use. It gives the professionals fast feedback in order to make prompt decisions.
Laboratory testing: It is also suited for lab environments where controlled settings demand careful analysis and data logging.
Compliance with Standards: The concrete test hammer has been designed to meet industry standards, among them, ASTM C805 and EN 12504-2, ensuring that your testing processes meet the highest possible standards in quality and safety.
Concrete Test Hammer Advantages
The concrete test hammer is a fast and very inexpensive estimation method for compressive strength without doing any damage to the structure. Such a non-destructive method allows successive testing at every stage of different construction phases for checks on whether the concrete has attained the required strength parameters. The test hammer is lightweight, portable, and easy to use, making it an ideal tool for on-site inspections where mobility and efficiency are prized.
The Hammer is also available in Digital Concrete Test Hammer for easy automatic data logging with immediate results and for a very neat integration into a PC for high precision and reporting possibilities. The digital version of this concrete test hammer does seem more straightforward in its testing procedure yet still capable of giving results that are found to be correct.
