The Windsor HP System does not require great skill to use and consistent results can be obtained by construction site supervisory staff or field technicians. In fact, among its users are contractors, engineers, architects, testing laboratories, ready mix concrete producers, owners, managers and government authorities. This system has widespread use in testing concrete in-situ, on conventionally placed, sprayed or pre-cast concrete; on horizontal or vertical slabs; on floors or overhead; on fresh or mature concrete.
The system is safe to use. The driver cannot be discharged unless it is fully depressed with some force against the actuating template which rests against the surface being examined.
Probes
There are two power settings available, low and standard power. The low power is used where concrete strength is less than 3000 psi (19.4MPa).
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 125lbs/cu. ft. (2003 kg/M3) in density.
- The silver probe is used with concrete having a density greater than 125 lbs/cu. ft. (2003kg/M3).
