Rebound Hammer Testing
Schmidt hammer testing for surface hardness and strength estimation.
Rebound hammer test from Corvus is part of our concrete testing service. Rebound hammer (Schmidt hammer) is fast, non-destructive, and useful as part of a battery of tests. We follow BS EN 12504-2, calibrate before each session, and never over-claim what the data tells us.
Built around the question being asked.
Test selection follows the question being asked. For in-situ strength estimation we combine rebound hammer with pull-out for a calibrated answer. For definitive results we extract cores and test them in a UKAS lab. We design the testing programme to give you defensible numbers, not just data points.
For rebound hammer testing specifically, the brief drives the choice of frequency, density, and reporting style. We quote a method that fits your access window, your accuracy requirement, and the downstream use of the data.
