For in-place strength testing of normal and high performance concrete.
Measures the compressive strength of concrete accurately and effectively, on-site in the field.
The Windsor® HP Probe system rapidly and accurately determines the concrete compressive strength of a structure by driving a probe into the concrete with a known amount of force.
Improved and enhanced over thirty years, this modern system is capable of measuring concrete with a maximum compressive strength of 17,000 PSI (110MPA).
It has been ruggedized for use in the construction environment, yet refined to provide the user with a simpler system to operate.
An electronic measuring unit has been added to help ensure proper test results which can be recorded for later review or uploading to a personal computer.
It is non-destructive and can be used with equal effectiveness on fresh and mature concrete.
Equally accurate results are obtained on horizontal or vertical surfaces provided that the probe is perpendicular or at right angles to the test surface.
- New electronic measuring system enhances accuracy and efficiency.
- Measurement to 17000 psi (110 MPa)
- Memory for data storage and uploading to PC
- Safe: no accidental discharge and no recoil
- Fast and economical use
- Determines the developing strength of concrete; improves safety, ensures quality and reduces time spent
- Monitors the strength for rehabilitation as concrete ages

Probes:
Two probe styles are available: one for lightweight, low density concrete with air filled aggregate and the other probe for more standard mix designs.
Also, two standard power settings facilitate testing fresh concrete as well as mature mixes.
There are two power settings available, low and standard power.
The low power is used where concrete strength is less than 3000 psi (19.4 MPa).
The newly designed silver probes can be used for high performance concrete with strength up to 17000 psi (110 MPa).
The probes are made of a high strength alloy, specially heat treated and annealed to achieve a hardness of Rockwell C 48.
Special machining of each probe eliminates stress concentrations.
The gold probe has a 56% greater cross-sectional area than the silver; it is recommended for light weight concrete - less than 125 lbs/cu. ft. (2003 Kg/M3) in density.
The silver probe is used with concrete having a density greater than 125 lbs/ cu. ft. (2003 Kg/M3).
