Advanced Concrete Permeability TestingEngineered to assess water impermeability in concrete, this tester allows simultaneous testing of three specimens. The systems robust mild steel body with anti-corrosive finishing enables long-lasting lab use. Precision is ensured with analog pressure gauges (010 bar) and real-time response, giving confident, instantaneous readings aligned with international testing standards.
User-Friendly and Efficient OperationThe equipment is designed for seamless integration into a laboratory setting, featuring a floor-standing sturdy stand and manual controls (with optional digital interface). The quick-release drainage system and intuitive clamps and fittings make set-up and specimen changes hassle-free, streamlining daily testing routines for both small and large testing volumes.
Reliable, Standard-Compliant ResultsCompliant with IS 3085 and ASTM C1202, this tester enables accurate determination of concrete impermeability, crucial for construction quality assurance. The adjustable test speed, automatic/manual pressure options, and 1% accuracy ensure detailed analysis across different concrete grades, further supporting research, compliance, and reporting requirements.
FAQs of Concrete Permeability Tester:
Q: How does the Concrete Permeability Tester evaluate concrete impermeability?
A: It measures the depth of water penetration under a sustained test pressure (up to 10 bar) over a specified period using three test cells, determining how resistant the concrete is to water ingress.
Q: What types of concrete specimens can be tested with this machine?
A: The device tests cylindrical concrete specimens with a diameter of 150 mm and a height of 150 mm, suitable for various concrete grades as per compliance standards.
Q: When should I perform a water permeability test on concrete?
A: The test is typically conducted after the concrete has cured, often as part of quality control, research, or compliance with IS 3085/ASTM C1202 standards to assess durability and impermeability.
Q: Where is the Concrete Permeability Tester best installed in a laboratory?
A: The floor-standing design and 78 cm height make it ideal for placement in spacious, ventilated lab testing areas with access to standard 230V AC power and water connections.
Q: What is the process for setting up and running a permeability test?
A: Install the specimens in the three cells, ensure rubber gaskets are properly in place, fill the reservoir, set the desired pressure (manual or automatic control), and monitor readings via the analog pressure gauge during the test duration.
Q: How do the features like quick-release valve and anti-corrosive construction benefit the user?
A: The quick-release valve streamlines water drainage after tests, while the mild steel body with anti-corrosive coating adds durability, reducing maintenance and extending equipment lifespan.
Q: What are the advantages of using this tester for concrete quality assurance?
A: It delivers precise, real-time, and repeatable measurements of permeability, supporting compliance with recognized standards and ensuring reliable documentation for concrete durability and safety assessments.
