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
- Type N: Rebound values are read from a scale for subsequent calculation of the mean. Compressive strength values can be read from a conversion diagram
- Type L: Handling equals type N, but the type L offers an impact energy three times smaller
