The Original Schmidt was invented and introduced into the market by Proceq in the 1950s. Since that time it has become the world’s first and most widely used instrument for non-destructive estimation of concrete strength properties, asphalt, mortar, rock and paper. Proceq rebound hammers are available in models with different impact energies, each designed for a specific test application. The SilverSchmidt is the latest generation of rebound hammer, combining the ground breaking features of the Original Schmidt with the best of today’s technology. It is the first integrated rebound hammer featuring true rebound value and unmatched repeatability.
