Concrete test hammer

Addressing the industry need to create a concrete test hammer that can deliver accurate readings on virtually any concrete from any direction, on any surface without the need to compensate for impact direction, Switzerland-based Proceq announces the new SilverSchmidt concrete test hammer.

Corrosion gauge

The CANIN+ instrument provides two methods for investigating and assessing the corrosion of steel in concrete. • Measurement of corrosion potential of the reinforcement • Measurement of electrical resistivity of reinforced concrete components The instrument highlights corrosion activity before rust becomes visible. This early detection can be key in preventing an unanticipated structural failure.

EQUOSTAT

The Equostat is a practical complement to Proceq’s portable rebound hardness testers as it resolves most limitations associated with the dynamic testing method. While rebound hardness testers are not suitable to measure very light parts of certain geometries, the portable Equostat is well-suited for testing light, thin-walled or tubular parts. The Equostat measures according to the Rockwell principle where the penetration depths under a defined preload are measured before and after application of a larger force. These low-load penetration depth measurements are accurate, rapid and reproducible. The difference between the before and after penetration depths reflects the plastic deformation and, therefore, the hardness.

Portable hardness tester

EQUOTIP PICCOLO is a revolutionary new rebound hardness tester featuring a new patented load & release mechanism - the impact body is launched at the surface and loaded for the next test in a single motion!
