Windsor Probe Services & Construction Testing

Why Is Windsor Probe Testing Important?

Windsor probe testing is a method for assessing concrete’s compressive strength. Engineers use this nondestructive approach widely on new and existing concrete as a performance measurement.

Since the evaluation helps identify concrete strength, it promotes higher-quality projects and end-user safety.

During a Windsor probe test, a qualified tester drives a pin into the concrete with a specialized device using a predetermined amount of force. Measuring the probe’s penetration depth indicates how much resistance the concrete demonstrates and identifies whether the material meets specifications.

Benefits Of Windsor Probe Testing

Windsor probe testing offers numerous advantages for evaluating concrete strength, including:

Speed: Testers can finish the assessment fairly quickly. Getting fast results helps projects move forward and stay on schedule

Economy: Windsor probe tests are relatively inexpensive. They provide a cost-effective way to evaluate new construction and existing structures on-site

Compliance: ASTM International and the American Concrete Institute offer some degree of acceptance for this testing approach. ECS follows the recommended industry testing guidelines to promote confidence in the results

Nondestructive: Windsor probe testing does not compromise the concrete. Instead, it leaves only minor surface blemishes

Additionally, the Windsor probe device can capture measurements up to 17,000 pounds per square inch.

Limitations of a Windsor Concrete Test

As with any assessment method, the Windsor probe test also has some inherent drawbacks, including:

Results can vary: Numerous factors can impact the accuracy of the measurements captured. For example, this method is strongly affected by coarse aggregate and the positioning of reinforcing steel
Comparison is necessary: Correlation is required when establishing Windsor probe test results. A qualified engineer must compare the measurements against new construction casts or cores from existing construction for verification

An ECS engineering consultant can help you decide if Windsor probe testing appears suitable for your specific project needs.
