Core Sample Grinder

Core Sample Grinder

 

Core Sample GrinderOne method of determining the properties of the hardened concrete in a structure is to remove cores using a suitable diamond corer. These cores are then tested for mechanical strength or for chemical composition. For chemical testing, the cores can be placed in the Concrete Core Sample Grinder, and ground back in successive layers, the grinding dust being collected for chemical analysis.

 
 

Details

The machine consists of a radial arm grinding head, which pivots about a horizontal axis, mounted on a solid steel support frame. The grinding head is fitted with a 110mm diameter diamond impregnated cutting wheel which rotates about a horizontal axis. A hand operated counter balanced lever moves the grinding head easily downward in a vertical plane, grinding the face of the core, which is mounted horizontally in V blocks carried on a two way slide system.

An electronic depth gauge is used to indicate the current position of the grinding head relative to the outer face of the core. A vacuum operated dust extractor collects the grindings in a sample holder for chemical analysis. A separate vacuum cleaner with suitable attachments is provided as part of the system.
