About Concrete Test Hammer

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of Elcometer, UK make 'Concrete Inspection' Equipments.

Concrete Inspection

Concrete structures are normally constructed using steel reinforcement and Elcometer offers Concrete Covermeters and Rebar Locators to either measure the depth of concrete over the rebar or simply to detect the rebar under the surface. Half-cell versions of the Covermeter can be used to assess the probability that corrosion is taking place on the rebar. Test Hammers are used to assess the surface hardness of cured concrete and Elcometer offers several moisture meters that can be used to determine if the structure is sufficiently dry for coating.

Adhesion testers for coating on concrete are available using either hand-operated mechanical methods or the automatic hydraulic method.

Test hammers are used to determine the surface hardness of concrete and are one of the most widely used instruments to assess concrete compressive strength. It is the quickest, simplest and least expensive method to obtain an estimate of the quality and strength of the concrete. Test Hammers with both analogue and digital displays are available.

FAQs of Concrete Test Hammer:

Q: How do I use the Concrete Test Hammer to measure concrete surface hardness?

A: To measure surface hardness, press the spring-loaded hammer firmly against the concrete surface, ensuring it is at least 150 mm 150 mm. Release the plunger to generate an impact; the rebound value is instantly shown on the analog scale, which correlates to the compressive strength.

Q: What types of surfaces can be tested with this equipment?

A: The hammer is suitable for testing concrete or rock surfaces. The area tested should be smooth, flat, and at least 150 mm 150 mm to ensure accurate and repeatable results.

Q: When should I calibrate or check the calibration of the test hammer?

A: Since the unit is factory calibrated and supplied with a calibration certificate, periodic calibration checks are recommended according to industry practices or after intense usage to maintain accurate readings.

Q: Where can I use the Concrete Test Hammer?

A: You can use it wherever concrete compressive strength needs assessment, including construction sites, civil engineering projects, and laboratories. Its portable, manual design allows use in both outdoor and indoor settings.

Q: What is the process for conducting a test?

A: Prepare the concrete surface with the provided grinding stone, place the hammer on the surface, and apply manual pressure until the mechanism triggers. The analog scale will indicate the rebound value, which can be referenced to concrete strength charts.

Q: What are the benefits of using this test hammer?

A: Benefits include non-destructive testing, instant analog display, high portability, no need for power supply, ease of use, and reliable accuracy. The supplied carry case and accessories make transportation and operation simple.
