Proceq Schmidt Hammer Type N Rock Rebound Hammer: Price Guide
The Proceq Original Schmidt Hammer Type N is a popular device for non-destructive testing of concrete and rock. This rebound hammer measures the compressive strength of hardened concrete and rock, giving consistent and accurate results. The Original Schmidt Hammer is a classic in the non-destructive testing world, known for its reliability and simplicity. The device measures the rebound value of a concrete or rock surface, which can be correlated to the strength using a conversion table chart. Proceq Original Schmidt Hammers come in various models, including the Type N, which is suitable with strengths from 1,450 to 10,152 psi. Buy an Original Schmidt Live Concrete Test Hammer.
Proceq Original Schmidt Hammer Type N
Rock Schmidt Test Hammer measures hardness, strength and consistency of rock formations for evaluation of engineering and geological properties. Rebound values measure age and weathering or estimate penetration rates for tunnel boring machines and rotary drum cutters. The Rock Schmidt Test Hammer meets ASTM D5873 and has menu guided operation, electronic data processing, auto correction for position and data storage. The mechanical sliding scale shows rebound values and you can correlate these values to strength using the conversion table on the hammer. You can also send reports directly to customers, making it more efficient.
Data and information sharing is done through the Schmidt app, a free download for Apple iOS devices. The iOS version has text for fast and easy logging. Connect to a web based reporting tool via Bluetooth and share data in real time. A logbook feature allows you to add GPS position, notes, images and comments to the report. The app generates report in PDF and CSV instantly. The Rock Schmidt Test Hammer complies with major standards, so you can trust the results.
Rock Schmidt Hammer for rock with compressive strength 2,900 to 21,750psi (20 to 150MPa) and impact energy 2.207Nm (1.63ft-lbf). Alternatively, consider the Estwing Geological Hammer for Rock, Solid Steel for geological fieldwork.

Benefits
The Type N Schmidt Concrete Test Hammers has many benefits and uses:
-
Non-destructive: The hammer doesn’t damage the concrete surface, so you can test without harming the structure. Concrete Test Hammer
-
Fast testing: It gives quick and easy results, so you can evaluate concrete compressive strength fast. Modern testing hammers are more efficient and accurate compared to traditional hammers, significantly reducing the time required for testing and improving overall productivity.
-
Cost effective: It’s a budget friendly way to test concrete structures, no need for expensive and time consuming laboratory tests.
-
Accurate: It gives precise and reliable readings, so you can trust the data.
-
Multiple uses: It’s suitable for testing concrete structures of all kinds, buildings, bridges and roads.
These benefits show the value of the Schmidt Concrete Test Hammer as a tool for testing concrete.
How to use
Operating the Schmidt Hammer Type N is easy to learn. Press the device against the concrete or rock surface and the rebound value will be displayed on the mechanical sliding scale. The rebound value can be correlated to the compressive strength using the conversion table chart on the hammer. The device is designed to give consistent and accurate readings, with high precision and reliability. The Silver Schmidt Hammer for example has a lightweight alloy impact plunger and precision optical encoders for maximum accuracy and repeatability. The Schmidt Live App (for Apple iOS and Android devices) allows for easy data management and reporting with features like text-to-speech, logbook and audio comments. It's important to check the accuracy of concrete test hammers after every 1,000 impacts, using a Calibration Test Anvil to ensure reliability in your readings.
