Rapid Chloride Permeability Tester QualiRCPT™
This test method evaluates the ability of concrete to resist chloride penetration. It monitors the flow of electrical current through concrete cores or cylinders. A voltage is applied across the specimen, with one end submerged in a sodium chloride solution (negative terminal) and the other in a sodium hydroxide solution (positive terminal). The total charge passed, measured in Coulombs, indicates the concrete's resistance to chloride ion penetration.
Measuring Technique
Maintains a 60 V DC potential difference in a closed loop, measuring current flow and integrating it over time.
Vacuum Saturation Machine
The intelligent vacuum saturation machine is designed for saturating concrete test blocks, essential for chloride ion permeability and diffusion coefficient experiments. Widely used in projects requiring durable concrete, such as rail lines, marine structures, bridges, and tunnels, it supports durability research, quality control, and project evaluation. Equipped with advanced technologies, the machine operates via a microprocessor for fully automated or manual control. Its stainless-steel cabinet ensures corrosion resistance, while its capacity to saturate 12 test blocks at once enhances efficiency. This robust and user-friendly equipment is vital for concrete durability laboratories.
