Proove’it
3 ways to evaluate the resistance of concrete to chloride ions ingress: ASTM C1202 “RCPT or Coulomb test”, Nordtest Build 492 “Chloride Migration Coefficient” and ASTM C1760 “Bulk Conductivity”.
The 8 channels Proove’it system, capable for testing from 5 to 60 Volts, can perform:
The “Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT)” or “Coulomb test” in accordance with ASTM C1202 or AASHTO T 277 by determining the total electrical charge passed through a saturated concrete specimen when an electrical potential across the specimen is applied
The “Chloride Migration Coefficient,” by measuring the penetration depth of chloride ions, after an electric potential is applied to the specimen in accordance with Nordtest Build 492.
The Bulk Conductivity or Resistivity can be determined in accordance with ASTM C1760 if the current passing through a saturated concrete specimen is measured during 1 minute.
Easy to assemble, auto-seal measuring cells are available for the different tests.
