Original Schmidt Type L Concrete Test Hammer is suitable for concrete testing in the same compressive strength range as the “standard” Type N model but has lower impact energy to improve the repeatability of rebound values on cross-sections thinner than 4in (100mm). This minimizes surface blemishes and damage to brittle mixes. The Type L test hammer is often preferred for testing precast concrete pipe sections and to judge strength suitability of cast-in-place concrete for form removal. Like Type N, Type L is a proven, efficient tool for rapid assessment of concrete conditions, relative strength, and homogeneity. Accuracy can be further improved with correlation testing on compressive strength samples of identical mix design. The HM-75L can be used in the ASTM test method D5873 for the determination of rock core strengths.
