Micro-Coring Equipment

Micro-core samples are extremely useful for verifying structures especially since their extraction does not cause any damage due to the dimensions of the holes (which, in any case, can be filled with mortar).

The test is easily performed and only requires the presence of one operator.

The drilling jig, the self-blocking pincers and the bit guide device all contribute to guarantee correct and accurate sampling.

The equipment is water-cooled and the tank is pressurised via a foot pump.

The equipment comprises: 2 speed electric hammer-drill (220 V, single phase), bit guide device, water tank with foot pump, 2 impregnated diamond bits, 28 mm (inner dia.), 35 mm (outer dia.) with different lengths for cores of 100 and 200 mm, 2 self-blocking pincers for securing the guide device, series of blocks, screws, bits and wrenches for use with the equipment.

If the samples obtained are to be subjected to compression tests it will be necessary to trim them for identification purposes.
