Product Code: K110
Category: ROCK MECHANICS
Sub-Category: NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTS
- The Rock Classification Hammer is a portable, spring-loaded impact device used to evaluate the surface hardness of rock specimens by measuring rebound values.
- The hammer is applied perpendicularly to the surface of horizontally positioned rock cores, typically of NX or NW size, to obtain rebound readings.
- Multiple measurements are taken along the length of the core to calculate an average rebound number, providing a rapid and non-destructive assessment of rock hardness.
- This method is particularly useful for preliminary site investigations, rock mass classification, and quality control in both field and laboratory settings.
- The device is supplied with a carrying case for ease of transport. A rock cradle, which facilitates consistent positioning during testing, is available separately.
