Yes, Hammer can be connected to Bluetooth printer for direct print-out of test results.
What is the operating temperature range?
0° to 50°C
What is benefit Q-Value output?
The Output Q- value is highly accurate & calculated by the ratio of inbound velocity & outbound velocity. It is virtually free of all mechanical errors.
What is Compressive Strength Range?
10 to >100 N/mm2 (1,450 to>14,500 psi)
What is the Original Schmidt OS8200 used for?
The Original Schmidt OS8200 is an advanced digital concrete test hammer designed for non-destructive testing (NDT) of concrete compressive strength, uniformity assessment, and quality control of concrete structures.
What makes the OS8200 different from traditional rebound hammers?
The OS8200 features optical velocity measurement technology, which directly measures rebound velocity rather than relying on mechanical rebound numbers, resulting in significantly higher accuracy and repeatability.
What is the impact energy of the Original Schmidt OS8200?
The OS8200 operates with 2.207 Nm impact energy (Type N), making it suitable for testing standard structural concrete in buildings, bridges, tunnels, and infrastructure projects.
Does the OS8200 provide automatic impact angle correction?
Yes. The device automatically compensates for testing angles, ensuring accurate results on horizontal, vertical, overhead, and inclined surfaces without manual correction charts.
What type of display does the OS8200 use?
The OS8200 features a high-resolution touchscreen display that provides real-time measurements, statistics, strength estimations, and test management functions.
Can the OS8200 estimate concrete compressive strength directly?
Yes. The instrument automatically converts rebound measurements into estimated compressive strength values in MPa, N/mm², psi, and other engineering units using built-in conversion curves.
How accurate is the OS8200 compared to conventional Schmidt hammers?
The optical measurement technology eliminates mechanical friction errors, providing higher repeatability, lower measurement variance, and improved accuracy compared to traditional rebound hammers.
Does the OS8200 store test data internally?
Yes. The device includes substantial onboard memory capable of storing thousands of measurements, test locations, and inspection projects.
Can the OS8200 connect to software for reporting and analysis?
Yes. The OS8200 supports wireless data transfer and integration with Proceq software, enabling detailed reporting, data analysis, cloud synchronization, and project documentation.
What statistical parameters can the OS8200 calculate automatically?
The instrument automatically calculates average, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and strength distribution values, reducing manual calculations and reporting time.
Which standards does the Original Schmidt OS8200 comply with?
The OS8200 complies with major international standards including EN 12504-2, ASTM C805, ISO 1920-7, and DIN 1048, making it suitable for global infrastructure and construction projects.
Can the OS8200 be used on bridges, tunnels, and critical infrastructure?
Yes. The high accuracy and digital data management capabilities make it ideal for bridges, tunnels, dams, metro projects, airports, and structural audits.
What is the advantage of optical measurement technology in the OS8200?
Optical measurement eliminates wear-related inaccuracies, improves long-term calibration stability, and provides more reliable concrete strength estimation than mechanical rebound systems.
Is the OS8200 suitable for structural health assessment projects?
Yes. It is widely used for condition assessment, rehabilitation planning, quality assurance, forensic investigations, and structural integrity evaluations.
What are the key technical advantages of the Original Schmidt OS8200?
Key advantages include optical velocity measurement technology, 2.207 Nm impact energy, automatic angle correction, touchscreen display, onboard memory, wireless connectivity, advanced statistical analysis, cloud reporting, and compliance with international concrete testing standards.
