Sclerometry
Sclerometry is a non-destructive test that measures the surface hardness of concrete, providing elements for assessing the quality of hardened concrete. The equipment used is a reflection sclerometer.
The evaluation of surface hardness using a reflection sclerometer consists of measuring and correlating the elastically conserved energy after the impact of a semi-spherical rod against the test area. This energy is usually presented in terms of the sclerometric index.
In conjunction with concrete ultrasound, sclerometry is particularly interesting for the commissioning of large and/or responsible structures, such as:
- Bridges;
- Viaducts;
- Tunnels;
- Support for equipment such as crushers, silos, mills, etc...
Due to its simplicity and speed of execution, pacometry can also be used to determine parts or regions to be investigated using more precise response methods.
