Read More4 Procedure 41 Checking of Apparatus It is necessary that the rebound hammer is checked against the testing anvil before commencement of a test to ensure reliable results The testing anvil should be of steel having Brinell hardness of about 5000 Nmm 2 The suppliermanufacturer of the rebound hammer should indicate the range of readings on the
Read MoreJul 09 2019 The rebound hammer developed by Schmidt provides an inexpensive and quick method for nondestructive testing of concrete When using the rebound hammer the limitations of the test method should be recognized and taken into account
Read MoreSep 19 2014 Procedure Should be tested against the test anvil Apply light pressure on the plunger and allow it to extend to the ready position for the test Apply a gradual increase in pressure until the hammer impacts Take the average of about 15 readings 8 Rebound Hammer test Assessing the likely compressive strength of concrete
Read Moretest specimen preparation and testing procedures for determining the rebound hardness number of rock material using a springdriven steel hammer referred to variously as a rebound hammer impact test hammer or concrete test hammer 12 This test method is best suited for rock material with uniaxial compressive strengths see Test Method D 2938
Read More52 For a given concrete mixture the rebound number is affected by factors such as moisture content of the test surface the type of form material or type of finishing used in construction of the surface to be tested vertical distance from the bottom of a concrete placement and the depth of carbonation These factors need to be considered in interpreting rebound numbers
Read More11 This test method covers the testing apparatus sampling test specimen preparation and testing procedures for determining the rebound hardness number of rock material using a springdriven steel hammer referred to variously as a rebound hammer impact test hammer or concrete test hammer
Read MoreThe Schmidt concrete test hammers can be applied on all concrete structures such as bridges buildings retaining walls bar rages and many more But they are also the perfect instruments to test in tunnels eg the formwork stripping strength which is the concrete compressive strength fc to be achieved before removal of the formwork
Read MoreRebound Hammer Test Equipment A simple equipment known as Rebound Hammer or Schmidt Hammer is used for this purpose Surface hardness measured during the test give an idea about the soundness and quality of cover concrete Locations having very low rebound numbers indicate weak surface concrete and may be affected by corrosion
Read More51 This test method is applicable to assess the inplace uniformity of concrete to delineate variations in concrete quality throughout a structure and to estimate inplace strength if a correlation is developed in accordance with 54
Read MoreRebound Hammer Test Procedure A Concrete Rebound Hammer is designed around the notion that the strength of concrete is more or less related to its hardness A springloaded hammer is released to impact against a piston in contact with the concrete surface a sliding indicator records the distance that the hammer bounces back on a simple linear scale resulting a rebound number
Read MoreFor many years Proceqs Original Schmidt hammers originally designed for nondestructive testing of concrete structures have been used for rock testing With the release of the new RockSchmidt test hammers Proceq presents the first rebound hammers adapted specifically to the extremely varied rock testing application
Read MoreRebound Hammer test is a Nondestructive testing method of concrete which provide a convenient and rapid indication of the compressive strength of the concrete The rebound hammer is also called as Schmidt hammer that consist of a spring controlled mass
Read MoreRebound hammer The rebound Schmidt hammer is one of the oldest and best known methods of comparing the concrete in various parts of a structure and indirectly assessing concrete strength It is actually a measure of surface hardness
