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).
