The Original Schmidt Concrete Test Hammer is the classic analog rebound hammer known for its accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. It provides a rapid, non-destructive method for compressive strength estimates of hardened concrete, concrete uniformity determinations, and rock hardness assessment.
The Type N test hammer is the most widely known and cost-effective method to assess concrete structures' strength, integrity, and uniformity. Designed for testing concrete 4 inches (100 mm) or more in thickness, it is an essential tool for professionals in the construction and civil engineering industries in the USA and beyond. For concrete with cross-sections less than 4 inches (100 mm) thick, see the HM-75L Original Schmidt Hammer, Type L, which has an impact energy of 0.735 Nm (0.54 ft-lb) for improved repeatability and reduced damage.
