Concrete Rebound Hammer Tester Proceq Type N 31001002 Aluminum

Description

Product Overview

The Proceq Concrete Rebound Hammer Tester Type N (model 31001002) is a precision instrument designed for evaluating the compressive strength of concrete structures. Crafted from high‑grade aluminum, the hammer features a flat head style that delivers consistent impact energy across surfaces at least 4 inches thick. Its ergonomic aluminum handle reduces user fatigue, allowing technicians to perform extended field inspections with confidence. The device operates without batteries, relying on the kinetic energy of the hammer strike, which simplifies maintenance and ensures reliable performance in remote locations.

Usage

Engineers, contractors, and quality‑control specialists use this rebound hammer on a variety of concrete applications, including slabs, walls, bridge decks, and foundation elements. The tester is calibrated for concrete compressive strengths ranging from 1,450 psi (10 MPa) up to 10,152 psi (70 MPa), making it suitable for both low‑strength residential projects and high‑strength commercial structures. Its lightweight design (3.5 lb) and compact dimensions (4″ × 4″ × 4″) enable easy transport in tool bags or on‑site kits. The hammer’s flat head ensures accurate readings on surfaces with a maximum aggregate size of 1.25 inches, providing reliable data for structural assessments, material verification, and compliance reporting.

FAQ

What concrete thickness is required for accurate readings?

The Type N rebound hammer is calibrated for concrete that is at least 4 inches thick. Thinner sections may not provide reliable rebound values because the impact energy can be absorbed differently.

Do I need any accessories to use the hammer?

No additional accessories are required. The hammer is ready to use out of the box; simply hold the ergonomic handle, strike the concrete surface, and read the rebound value on the scale.

Can the hammer be used on concrete with large aggregate?

The device is designed for concrete with a maximum aggregate particle size of 1.25 inches. Larger aggregates may affect the rebound reading and should be avoided for precise measurements.

How often should the hammer be calibrated?

For best accuracy, calibrate the hammer annually or after any significant impact event. Proceq provides calibration services and guidance to ensure your instrument remains within specification.

Is there a warranty or after‑sales service?

Yes, Proceq offers a standard warranty covering manufacturing defects and provides dedicated technical support to assist with any operational questions or troubleshooting.
