KERN Concrete tester FC 1K-BT

KERN Concrete Tester FC 1K-BT

The KERN FC 1K-BT is a specialized digital concrete tester designed to assess the compressive strength of sprayed or poured concrete with precision and reliability. With a maximum force capacity of 1 kN and a fine readability of 1 N, this instrument is essential for determining the consistency and curing performance of concrete, particularly in field applications or construction sites. The device measures the penetration resistance using a needle, offering valuable insights into the hardening process and compressive strength of the concrete at various stages.
