Concrete water impermeability apparatus, 6 place version
EN 12390-8
DETERMINATION OF PENETRATION'S DEPTH OF WATER UNDER PRESSURE
This apparatus is used to determine the depth of penetration of the water into the concrete (impermeability) under known time and pressure.
The unit accepts concrete cubic, cylindrical or prismatic specimens having max. dimensions of 200x200x200 mm.
The specimen is put into the test chamber, clamped with suitable flanges with central screw and round gaskets.
A known water pressure is applied on the specimen’s surface for a known time, as requested by Standard, using a suitable air compressor having at least 5 bar pressure.
