Concrete Test Hammers

Crack the code of concrete strength with cutting-edge test hammers from Certified MTP. As a leading provider of concrete supplies and non destructive testing equipment, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality rebound hammers, or concrete test hammer,  to meet your needs.

If you need a Schmidt Hammers, sometimes called a Swiss Hammer, to measure the elastic strength of concrete or rock for surface hardness and penetration resistance, look no further than our top-notch options. A rebound hammer can revolutionize the way you understand compressive strength assessments. 

Invented to establish a reliable and widely accepted method for evaluating concrete, rebound hammers have become an indispensable tool in construction. By measuring the rebound readings, these hammers provide valuable insights into the underlying strength and integrity of concrete structures.

Our hammers are designed to withstand the impact energy of testing while delivering consistent and reliable results so that you can understand the behavior of your concrete.

Featured Concrete Test Rebound Hammer

The original Type N Schmidt Concrete Test Hammer is ideal for fast, non-destructive rebound hammer that estimates in-place concrete. We also recommend our two branded products: the Gilson Type N Concrete Test Hammer and the versatile Type N Concrete Test Hammer. All of these products deliver exceptional performance and accuracy, ensuring precise measurements.

At Certified MTP, we understand the significance of accurate and efficient concrete test hammer evaluations of the compressive strength of concrete. That’s why we offer an extensive selection of high-quality rebound hammer options, including Schmidt Hammers (also called a Swiss Hammer) and more.

Our comprehensive product line includes various models of the concrete test hammer, each tailored to select applications and compressive strength classes (from 145 PSI to over 14,500 PSI). We prioritize uniformity and consistency in our test hammers, so each model undergoes rigorous quality control procedures. This commitment ensures that our customers receive the concrete test hammer with reliable and repeatable readings. Researchers, engineers, and construction professionals use our hammers to make informed decisions based on precise data.

When selecting a test hammer from our range, you can count on our expert guidance, ensuring you have the right tool in hand to meet your testing requirements. Explore our collection below and discover how our hammers can enhance your concrete testing procedure.

All of our hammers are easy to use. Push the test hammer against the surface of the concrete to load bearing capacity a spring until it trips and releases a hammer mass. Then, the mass strikes the piston, and there is an impact energy that produces a defined amount of energy. As the mass bounces back, the sliding indicator records the rebound number, telling you the strength of the concrete and allowing you to work out other factors like moisture content.

Our Schmidt Hammers are designed for easy viewing of results and to minimize the risk of errors.

What Are Concrete Test Hammers?

Rebound hammers, or test hammers, were invented by a Swiss company to assess the compressive strength of concrete aggregate structures and pavements. The body of the device makes it easy to read results, revolutionizing concrete testing.

Concrete test rebound hammers are specialized tools to determine the surface hardness and estimate the compressive strength of a concrete structure. By performing a rebound hammer test, professionals can gain valuable insights into the strength and quality of the tested concrete.

The principle behind a rebound hammer test lies in the impact energy generated when the plunger strikes the concrete surface. The rebound hammer then measures the rebound numbers, which are the percentage of the impact energy reflected back by the concrete. This served as an indirect indicator of concrete strength.

Test hammers play a crucial role in assessing the load bearing capacity and overall strength of a concrete structure. By measuring the rebound numbers at various locations on the same concrete surface, you can identify areas of varying strength and detect potential anomalies.

With the correct and consistent testing procedure (e.g., holding the hammer at right angles to a smooth concrete surface), hammers provide a non-destructive method to measure the strength of concrete quickly. This method is particularly useful when assessing large concrete structures like bridges and high-rise buildings, where core sampling is not feasible.

Benefits of Concrete Test Hammers

A rebound hammer has several advantages. By measuring the rebound of impact energy on a concrete surface, they provide a reliable indication of the concrete’s strength. This non-destructive testing method allows professionals to determine the strength of a structure without damaging it.

The lower impact energy minimizes potential damage to the surface during testing, which means you can test everything from a concrete cube to a bridge without damaging it.

Concrete test rebound Schmidt Hammers are a quick and efficient way to gather data, making them a valuable tool in quality control and construction projects. The test results can be compared to standards and specifications to assess the overall performance of the concrete. Additionally, test hammers can identify areas of low strength, enabling targeted repair and reinforcement measures.

They provide results in seconds, allowing for a rapid on-site evaluation. Since they are portable and easy to use, they are suitable for a wide range of applications and can be used on various structures. They can be used on concrete structures standing at different angles and on various concrete surfaces, providing a versatile testing solution.

The relationship between the rebound value and the compressive strength allows for convenient interpretation of test data, allowing you to make informed decisions based on these values. This helps ensure the structural integrity of buildings.

It’s important to use Schmidt Hammers to get the most out of it. Ensure that you test in dry conditions or take into account the water content of the sample, for example.
