Schmidt Hammer, for wood
The Schmidt Hammer is a tool used to evaluate wood quality and to examine wooden elements. It is an indispensable tool for the evaluation of the safety of wooden elements in historical objects and where the technique of sample taking involving making micro holes (even small ones) is not possible.
This non-invasive method allows to determine the safety of wooden elements and evaluate their mechanical properties (resistance and formability) to some extent.
