The Rafael anchors differ from each other according to the way of their use:

• Basic or construction anchors are parts of an anchoring construction.
• Testing anchors are intended for testing purposes of anchors till pulling-down. They are equipped by an additional strand and are supposed to control the outside load capacity of the area of the testing anchor – a part of an anchored structure, which serves for the final verification of the anchor project solution.
• Control anchors enable the implementation of additional load capacity testing at any time.
• Measuring anchors are equipped by an anchor force measuring device (a measuring cell or dynamometer); the control over anchoring forces is able to be implemented at any time, even from a longer distance (i.e., from an office).
