The Windsor Pin™ System

In place strength test (brick, morter, & concrete)

A unique instrument for measuring the strength of new or existing construction materials in situ utilizing the established principle of resistance to penetration.

-------------------------        

Measures the compressive strength of concrete, mortar and brick in-situ, quickly, accurately. A non-explosive instrument, the Windsor Pin™ System uses a spring-loaded device to drive a steel pin into the concrete or mortar. The depth of penetration of the needle correlates to the compressive strength of the material under test. A removable chuck and a small pin size facilitate the testing of mortar joints; this is the only system for testing the in-place strength of brick mortar joints. Conforms to ASTM C-803.

Pin Penetration Resistance Test Procedure

     
Firing
Windsor Pin™ with chuck on smooth surface.

       
Cleaning
Air blower cleaning out pin hole before measuring.

        
Measuring
Needle micrometer measuring depth of pin penetration in mortar joint.

Measure the Pin after each test if the pin is too blunt or too short the strength can be considerably over-stated.

New and used pins

Actual new pin length:1.2 inches.

Go/No-Go Gage

Used steel pin passing through the Go/No-Go gage.

        
With the chuck removed the pin driver is capable of accurately testing mortar joints. By inserting the V-barrel into the mortar joint the pin will directly penetrate at the center of the joint.

------------------------------------------

Technical
The principle of the Windsor Pin™ system is that a spring drives a steel pin into the surface of the material. Since the depth of penetration is inversely proportional to compressive strength, the device provides a fast and safe way of determining the in situ strength of material.

The spring is loaded by tightening the retraction nut until the trigger mechanism latch closes to hold the spring in place. The stored potential energy is 91 lbs. in (108 NM). With the spring loaded it is compressed to a distance of 0.8 inches. Thus once the trigger is pulled there is enough force to test compressive strength of concrete to a maximum of 5300 PSI (36.9 MPA). The pin is made of a special high strength steel specifically for building material penetration and can be used about seven times. It should be replaced if the length is reduced sufficiently for it to pass a go/no-go gauge. Not doing so will severely impact results.

With the chuck on both the micrometer and pin driver, flat surfaces can be easily and accurately measured. Simply make sure the chuck rests against the surface and pull the trigger. After the pin has penetrated the surface, clean the hole with the provided lower, measure depth of penetration and compare to the previously prepared chart for the compressive strength of your material. Charts for typical mortar and concrete is provided.

The recommended practice is to take seven readings discarding the two readings farthest from the mean. By doing this the possibilities of striking a flaw or near surface piece of hard aggregate and using the resulting penetration to calculate strength are sufficiently reduced. Grinding the surface flat before testing pro- duces more consistent results.

With the chuck removed the pin driver is capable of accurately testing mortar joints. By inserting the V-barrel into the mortar joint the pin will directly penetrate at the center of the joint. By following a similar procedures as above the compressive strength of the mortar joint can be accurately and safely tested. A similar v-shape for the micrometer facilitates measurement.

--------------------------------------------

Calibration
The spring of this instrument has been selected for its ability to undergo many compression cycles with no loss of energy. However, it is recommended that the instrument be sent back to James Instruments (or authorized distributor) for cleaning, recalibration, and replacement of the brass loading nut, at least once every year.

Windsor Pin™ SYSTEM OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A spring-loaded device drives a steel pin into the surface of concrete or mortar and the depth of penetration is measured. Since the depth of penetration is inversely proportional to compressive strength, this system provides a fast and efficient way of determining the in situ strength of material.

The spring is loaded by tightening the loading nut until the trigger mechanism latch closes to hold the spring in place. The stored potential energy is 91 lbs. in (108 NM). With the spring loaded, it is compressed to a distance of 0.8 inches. Thus, once the trigger is pulled there is enough force to test the compressive strength of concrete to a maximum of 5300 PSI (36.9 MPa).

The pin is made of a special high-strength steel specifically for building material penetration and can be used up to seven times. It should be replaced if the length is reduced sufficiently for it to pass through a go/no-go gage.

PIN PENETRATION RESISTANCE TEST PROCEDURE

1. Insert a new pin into the chuck.

2. Tighten the loading nut until the trigger mechanism latch closes to hold the spring in place.

3. It is very important to back off the loading nut completely to the top of the load screw before pulling trigger. Failure to do so will result in damage to the threads of both nut and spindle.

4. Place the instrument on a smooth flat surface of the material to be tested (2-3 square inches). If necessary use a grindstone to prepare the surface.

5. Place the instrument perpendicular to the test surface and pull the trigger. The instrument should be held firmly against the surface, particularly when testing vertical walls and ceilings.
   5a. With the chuck removed, the V-shaped barrel can be inserted directly into the mortar joint – ensuring pin penetration at its center.

6. Remove the instrument and with the rubber bulb-type blower, clean out the small hole made in the material surface.

7. Place the micrometer over the hole, making sure that the reference surface of the micrometer is flat on the material (For measuring mortar joints, the micrometer utilizes a V-shaped barrel similar to the pin driver.)

8. Insert micrometer probe to the bottom of the hole using the knurled thimble on the head of the micrometer.

9. Read and note the micrometer reading. Remove chuck to expose V-Shaped barrel if measuring in a mortar joint.

10. After each strike check the steel pin in the steel pin in the go/no-go gage provided in the plastic box containing 40 steel pins. If the pin can easily pass through the slot in the gage, it should be discarded and a new one selected.

When checking the used pin length make sure that it is parallel to the surface of the gage.

1. Repeat the above procedure seven times and reject the two readings farthest from the mean.

2. Average the five best remaining point readings and, using the charts provided, look up the corresponding compressive strength.
   NOTE: Measure the pin after each test. If the pin is too blunt or too short, the strength of the material can be considerably overstated
