Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Proceq OS8000 Schmidt Rebound Hammer
Q1: What does the Proceq OS8000 Schmidt Rebound Hammer measure?
The OS8000 measures the rebound value (R-value) of concrete surfaces and converts it to estimated compressive strength in N/mm². Engineers use this data to assess concrete quality, uniformity, and adequacy without cutting or coring the structure.
Q2: Does the OS8000 require the mobile app to function?
No. The OS8000 operates in four independent modes. Engineers can use it as a fully digital Bluetooth hammer with the app, as a standalone digital hammer using only its built-in screen, as a Bluetooth print console, or as a traditional analog mechanical hammer without any battery at all.
Q3: Does the OS8000 automatically correct for testing angle?
Yes. The OS8000 includes an electronic angle sensor that automatically applies the correct impact angle correction for any direction of testing — horizontal, upward, downward, or any angle in between. This eliminates the manual lookup tables engineers must use with conventional hammers.
Q4: Which international standards does the OS8000 support?
The OS8000 supports EN 12504-2 (European), ASTM C805 (American), BS 1881-202 (British), IS 13311-2 (Indian), JSCE (Japanese), and several other national and international concrete testing standards selectable directly in the app.
Q5: What concrete compressive strength range does the OS8000 cover?
The Type N version covers 10 to 70 N/mm² (1,450 to 10,152 psi), which encompasses most structural concrete. Engineers select Type L for lower-strength concrete down to approximately 5 N/mm², such as early-age concrete during formwork removal decisions.
Q6: Can the OS8000 export test reports as PDF?
Yes. The Proceq Original Schmidt Live app exports complete test series reports as PDF or CSV files directly from the smartphone. Engineers send these reports to clients or project managers from the job site instantly without returning to the office.
