The testers are designed to suit the requirements of various testing procedures and standards including BS 8539:2012 and BS7883:2019. The Construction Fixings Association (CFA) endorses Hydrajaws as a supplier of industry-leading testing equipment.
Testers are in kit form complete with carrying case and all the necessary accessories including a load spreading bridge. The latter item is of special significance as it provides an unsupported area around the fixing, giving a true value of both the mechanical efficiency of the anchor itself and the strength of the concrete or masonry it is installed into. This is of special importance where old buildings are concerned.
Fixings that may be accommodated include stud projections, threaded inserts, eyebolts for safety harnesses, scaffold ring bolts, remedial wall ties, and other fixing systems for which a selection of adaptors are available.
We also provide an annual calibration service to ensure the gauges are kept accurate and working correctly to ensure confidence in testing results.
This course is suitable for anyone using Hydrajaws testing equipment, installing or testing anchors and fixings.
Any problems with a tester, or any testing problems, are looked into by our experienced technical team who will find a solution quickly to provide a satisfactory answer.
On completion of the course, delegates will receive a certificate of completion, valid for five years.
Our basic original testers, adaptors and bridges have all undergone improvements and changes to reflect the needs of the testing market. Even our more advanced Bluetooth digital gauge has been refined and enhanced, and is currently in its third generation.
