Silver Schmidt Concrete Test Hammer (OS8200)

The Silver Schmidt OS8200 is an advanced concrete test hammer designed to deliver precise and reliable measurements of hardened concrete strength. Equipped with a lightweight alloy impact plunger and precision optical encoders, this innovative tool ensures accurate and repeatable results by minimizing internal friction. Unlike traditional rebound hammers, the Silver Schmidt uses proprietary Q value measurements, providing superior accuracy when testing high-strength and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC).

This sophisticated tool supports multiple international standards, including ASTM compliance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It can also integrate seamlessly with pulse velocity data for SONREB (sonic rebound) methods, enhancing the accuracy of compressive strength estimates.

The Silver Schmidt’s advanced features include intuitive menu-guided operation, data logging capabilities, and compatibility with the Schmidt Live app. The app simplifies testing and reporting by allowing users to log results with GPS positioning, notes, images, and audio comments. Real-time data sharing via Bluetooth and instantaneous report generation in PDF and CSV formats make this tool ideal for modern construction and engineering workflows.

Key Specifications & Features:

• Wide Strength Range: Accurately tests concrete compressive strengths from 1,450 to 14,500psi (10 to 100MPa). User-generated correlation curves extend this range up to 17,405psi (120MPa) for UHPC applications.
• Q Value System: Provides more accurate measurements for high-strength concretes compared to traditional rebound numbers.
• Data Storage: Records up to 20,000 data points in series of 70 impacts, ensuring efficient data management for large-scale projects.
• Schmidt Live App Integration: The free app (available for iOS and Android) enhances test efficiency and reduces errors. The iOS version features text-to-speech functionality for rapid logging.
• Real-Time Reporting: Bluetooth connectivity enables real-time sharing of results, with the ability to generate PDF and CSV reports instantly.
• Durable Design: Features a rugged, fiber-reinforced shell and a backlit 100x100 pixel display for easy operation in any environment.
• Flexible Power Supply: Powered by alkaline or rechargeable AAA batteries, providing up to 20,000 impacts per charge.
• Impact Energy Options: The standard model delivers 2.207Nm (1.63ft-lbf), ideal for concrete with cross-sections over 4 inches (100mm). For thinner sections, the HM-89L model offers reduced impact energy of 0.735Nm (0.54ft-lbf) to improve repeatability and reduce surface damage.

Applications:

• Construction Quality Control: Quickly verify the compressive strength of concrete on-site.
• Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Testing: Ideal for specialized applications like bridges, skyscrapers, and industrial structures.
• Research & Development: Use custom correlation curves to evaluate new concrete mixes or materials.
• Infrastructure Maintenance: Monitor aging structures with non-destructive testing methods.
