The
Original Schmidt will hit at a defined energy whereas its
rebound is dependent on the hardness and is measured by
the instrument. The Original Schmidt is available in models with
different impact energies, each test hammer designed for a specific test
application, in order to meet the needs of the customers to investigate
a wide range of material types and sizes, such as bridge decks, thin
walls, cast stone components or small components.

Features

• The
  type L/LR Original Schmidt operates with significant lower impact
  energy, making this test hammer the ideal option for testing thin walled
  items with a thickness between 50 to 100 mm (2 in. and 4 in.) or for
  analyzing small components.
• It
  is suitable for examining cast stone components which are sensitive to
  impact. In rock mechanics, the type L/LR Original Schmidt is commonly
  used for the classification of rock cores and brittle rock
