Rebound Hammer Test

Non-destructive strength assessment, in-place and on-schedule.

OVERVIEWScope

Fast, non-destructive rebound hammer testing to assess in-place concrete strength — ideal for uniformity checks and as a pre-screening step before coring.

METHODTest method

Schmidt rebound hammer with calibrated impact energy.
