    The document describes the Windsor HP Probe System, which uses explosive charges to test the compressive strength of in-place concrete in a non-destructive manner. It provides accurate strength measurements for normal and high-strength concrete up to 17,000 psi. The system is safe, efficient, and easy to use by field technicians. Test results correlate well with standard cylinder tests and provide a measure of the actual strength of concrete in structures.

    The Windsor
    HP Probe System
    Safe and User Friendly he Windsor HP System does not require great

    T 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 precast 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 (19.4 MPa).
    Standard power is for any strengths above that.
    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 125 lbs/cu. ft. (2003
    Kg/m3) in density. The silver probe is used with
    concrete having a density greater than 125 lbs/cu.
    ft. (2003 Kg/m3).

    Strength
    Procedure
    A. Actuating
    Load the driver with a power load and probe
    suited for the type of concrete being examined.
    Place the driver firmly on the actuating template
    and fire. The locating template is then used to
    locate the probes at the corners of a fixed
    triangle. Normally, three
    measurements are required for
    consistent and statistically
    reliable results.

    B. Measuring
    The electronic measuring
    device is menu driven and programmed for selection
    Manual Depth Gauge according to the following parameters.
    Aggregate hardness
    Light weight, normal, or HP concrete
    American or Metric units
    The three individual tests are automatically
    averaged and displayed on the LCD in accordance
    with ASTM procedure. This data together with time
    and date of the test are stored in the memory for
    subsequent uploading to a PC. An extractor is
    supplied to facilitate probe removal after the test.
    The Standard Windsor Probe System includes a
    depth gauge and Strength Chart for determining
    the concrete strength.
    This is an economical alternative for many
    concrete test environments.

    The Windsor HP Probe System

    Technical Technical
    The Windsor HP Probe System is designed to evaluate the
    Specifications compressive strength of concrete in place. It is non-destructive
    and can be used with equal effectiveness on fresh and mature
    concrete. Equally accurate results are obtained on horizontal or
    vertical surfaces provided that the probe is perpendicular or at
    right angles to the test surface.
    A hardened steel alloy probe is propelled at high speed by
    an exactly measured explosive charge into the concrete and its
    penetration measured. Each power load is guaranteed to have
    an energy level to give an exit muzzle velocity tolerance within
    3%. The compressive strength of the concrete is directly
    related to the resistance to penetration of the crushed
    aggregate and cement matrix: this is determined by the
    distance required to absorb the specific amount of kinetic
    energy of the probe. The compressive strength of the concrete
    is empirically related to the penetration that varies with the
    hardness of the aggregate. This relationship is recognized by
    determining the Mohs scale of hardness of the aggregate and
    applying a correction factor to the penetration.
    The combined contributions of both the aggregate and the
    cement paste to concrete strength are examined by the test.
    The accuracy of the inferred strengths has been examined in
    many independent tests and trials. The Windsor HP results
    correlate well with the concrete strength determinations
    The Windsor HP Probe System.
    obtained by conventional means.
    For most accurate test results ASTM recommends that a
    correlation be developed for the particular mix design being
    tested. Exact duplication of cylinder test results should not be
    expected. The probes measure the strength of the actual
    concrete in a structure rather than that of a sample compacted
    and cured under
    strict and somewhat artificial conditions which do not
    necessarily represent those of the structure itself.
    The Windsor Probe test has been approved by federal, state
    and municipal agencies as well as a number of foreign
    countries. It conforms to the following tests, specifications and
    practices:
    ASTM C803 ACI 347
    ANSI A.10-3 BS 1881 #207
