A unique instrument for measuring the strength of new or existing construction materials in situ utilizing the established principle of resistance to penetration.
Frequently Asked Questions
| Q. |
I have a concave mortar joint; can the Windsor Pin™ test it? |
| A. |
Yes, just remove the flat plate on the Driver Unit to expose the V-shaped tip. Don’t forget to do the same with the depth gauge. |
| |
|
| Q. |
How many tests do you get from each pin? |
| A. |
Depending on the strength of the material you might be testing you should get anywhere from three to five tests per pin. |
| |
|
| Q. |
How accurate is the Windsor Pin™ System? |
| A. |
With the proper correlation testing, the Windsor Pin™ can get you within 10 percent of the actual in place strength. Just like most NDT tests you get your best results with a direct correlation of cores, cylinders, or prisms to match with the pin penetration. |

| Q. |
Can you over load the Driver Unit? |
| A. |
Yes, we recommend that you hold your hand over the trigger until you feel it click in. Remember to back screw off before you fire the unit. |
