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

Standards

  • ASTM C 805
  • ASTM D 5873(Rock)
Applications
  • 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.
