SCHMIDT HAMMER (CONCRETE TEST HAMMER) – BCO-116
The BESMAK Schmidt Hammer, also known as a Concrete Test Hammer or Rebound Hammer, is a non-destructive testing device used to evaluate the compressive strength and surface hardness of concrete structures. It provides a fast, reliable, and practical method for assessing existing concrete without causing damage to the structure.
Widely used in construction sites, laboratories, inspection companies, and infrastructure projects, the Schmidt Hammer helps engineers determine concrete quality, uniformity, and durability through rebound value measurements.
What is a Schmidt Hammer?
A Schmidt Hammer is a non-destructive testing (NDT) instrument designed to estimate the compressive strength of concrete. The device works by measuring the rebound value generated when a spring-controlled mass impacts the concrete surface. Higher rebound values generally indicate stronger concrete.
The Schmidt Hammer is one of the most commonly used field-testing devices for rapid concrete assessment and quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schmidt Hammer used for?
A Schmidt Hammer is used to estimate the compressive strength and surface hardness of concrete without damaging the structure.
Is Schmidt Hammer testing non-destructive?
Yes. Schmidt Hammer testing is a non-destructive testing method that does not damage the concrete surface.
What is the difference between a Schmidt Hammer and a Rebound Hammer?
There is no significant difference. Rebound Hammer and Schmidt Hammer are commonly used terms for the same testing principle.
Can Schmidt Hammer testing determine exact concrete strength?
The Schmidt Hammer provides an estimated compressive strength value and is often used together with other testing methods for detailed evaluation.
Where is Schmidt Hammer testing used?
It is commonly used in buildings, bridges, tunnels, dams, laboratories, and infrastructure inspection projects.
