CONCRETE TEST HAMMER (SCHMIDT HAMMER) N TYPE AZA1148
The AZA1148 Concrete Test Hammer (N-Type) is a precision-engineered non-destructive testing device designed to estimate the compressive strength of hardened concrete. Operating on the rebound principle, this instrument delivers fast, reliable field measurements without damaging the structure, making it indispensable for quality control, inspection, and structural assessment.With an impact energy of 2.207 Nm, the AZA1148 is suitable for general-purpose testing of standard-density concrete elements with expected compressive strength values ranging between 10 MPa and 70 MPa. It is widely used in construction sites, material testing laboratories, bridges, tunnels, precast yards, and industrial structures.
How It Works
The hammer uses a spring-loaded mass that impacts the concrete surface. The rebound distance of the mass (displayed as an R-value) correlates to the concrete’s surface hardness and indirectly indicates compressive strength. Results can be interpreted using standard conversion charts or custom calibration curves based on local materials.
