Proceq Rockschmidt (Type N) Digital Rebound Hammer
Overview

The Proceq RockSchmidt (Type N) is a special Schmidt hammer for rock testing applications to investigate e.g. rock hardness, rock strength, and weathering. The RockSchmidt measures the distance of rebound of the impact of a piston on a rock surface, i.e. harder rocks have higher rebound (R) values. Further applications include the age estimation of geomorphic landforms of e.g. periglacial, glacial, or mass movement origin (i.e. relative dating or Schmidt hammer exposure-age dating combined with cosmogenic nuclide dating).
