Concrete Testing
Hammond Concrete provide a full range of up to date calibrated test equipment to aid in the evaluationof bridges and structures.
Listed below is of the most asked for equipment used across the industries which includes Hilti
Ferroscans and Electromagnetic Covermeters for steel cover and condition assessment, to Schmidt Hammer and a range of James test equipment for surface hardness and mortar strength analysis.
Half Cell and resistively meters are also available for hire.
Elcometer 331 Model BH
This easy to use gauge quickly and accurately locates, orientates and measures the depth of cover over reinforcement bars.
Elcometer Model SH Covermeter
Having all the functionality of the Model BH, including half cell potential measurement and bar diameter, the model SH has the additional benefit of the capacity to store 1000 readings in linear batches, which are downloadable to PC.
Profometer 5S
Detection of rebar and other metal building elements and their orientation. Measurement of concrete cover depth and rebar diameter. Correction functions for the influence of neighbouring bars Compact, user-friendly indicating device with display backlight. Optical as well as acoustic locating aids.
Silver and Standard Schmidt Hammers
Digital and manual rebound hammers for quick and easy determination of concrete compressive strength.
Silver Schmidt results can be downloaded to PC
PS200 Hilti Ferroscan
In addition to conventional covermeters the Ferroscan provides a high resolution image giving a clearer picture for analysis.
Includes powerful PC software for in office analysis
Resistivity Meter
Assess probable rate of corrosion in rebars with 2 probe array- 5cm apart. Four probe available.
Pull off tester
Measures bond strength between existing and new concrete. Uses 50mm dia dollies
Pundit Plus
Ultrasonic unit for testing cracks and cavities within concrete.
BRE Internal Fracture Tester
Used since 1978 by structural engineers. It is a comparative test and indicates likely concrete strength.
Wall Tie locator (IMP)
A fast, accurate detector provided with two search heads which can locate mild steel, phosphor, bronze and copper. Also some types of stainless steel wall ties and rebars.
Windsor PIN
Fires a re-useable pin into mortar joints to determine hardness
Windsor HP Probe
Fires a probes into concrete and measures concrete strength to 110Mpa.
Chloride and Carbonation kit
All the items required for collecting dust samples for chloride analysis and 1% solution of phenolphthalein for in-situ carbonation surveys.
Moisture Measurement System MMS
Quickly measures relative humidity, dew point, mixing ratio (grains per pound/parts per million by weight) and ambient temperature are shown at the touch of a button. Surface temperature measurements can also be measured with the standard supplied surface temperature sensor (BLD 5804) making this instrument especially suitable for condensation.
Protimeter Hygromaster
Monitors Equilibrium Relative Humidity (ERH) and temperature in concrete, floor screeds, plaster, walls and timber. using Hygrostick, measurements can be taken directly into the concrete of using Hygrobox laid on a floor screed. RaNge 30-100rh. Temperature 0-50C.
Speedy Tester 0-2% or 0-20% Moisture Reading
Rugged, light weight instrument
Due to its accuracy it has been an industry standard or years.
BRE Floor Screed Tester incl light weight concrete
Tests floor screeds by dropping standard weights and measuring indent depths.
