Rock Schmidt RS8000

Advanced Optical Rebound Hammer for Rock Testing

The Rock Schmidt RS8000 is a high-precision digital rebound hammer specifically engineered for rock integrity assessment. Designed with an optical measurement system that delivers low dispersion and reliable correlations to unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and elastic modulus, it supports standalone testing or seamless integration with the Rock Schmidt App for field documentation and cloud-backed collaboration.

Features

Optical rebound velocity sensor for superior accuracy
Two models: Type N (2.207 Nm) for bulk rock and Type L (0.735 Nm) for cores
Impact-angle independent measurement
Built-in digital display plus analog gauge
Bluetooth LE and USB connectivity for data transfer
Internal logbook: geolocation, voice/image/text annotations via app
Voice feedback on iOS, exportable PDF/CSV reports
Secure cloud collaboration via Screening Eagle Workspace

Applications

Rock unconfined compressive strength estimation
Modulus of elasticity correlation for rock materials
Weathering grade classification
Surface hardness mapping for tunneling and drilling planning
Geological and structural rock assessment
