Compliance Standards:
EN 12364 | DIN 1048 | BS EN 12390 (Part-8)
Applications :
Water Permeability testing machine with 1 cells to determine the depth of penetration of the water into the concrete (impermeability) under known time and pressure.
Descriptions :
- Concrete Permeability Apparatus consists of single specimen holder assemblies as per DIN : 1048
- Fitted with manifold assembly to hold end Pressure Gauge of 15kg/cm2 (15 Bar) and a chamber Pressure Gauge of 20 kg/cm2 (20 Bar) with another pressure gauge of 15 kg/cm2 (15 Bar) on the chamber to show the inlet pressure.
- An operator can test both - Concrete cylinder of size 150 mm dia. X 160 mm high and cube moulds of 150 x 150 x 150 mm dimensions.
- Supplied complete with Air Compressor of 2 hp @ 25 liter.
How the measurement is done?
The specimen is put into the test chamber, clamped with suitable flanges and gaskets, and then a known water pressure is applied on the specimen’s surface for prescribed time as requested by the respective Standard, by using a suitable air compressor (accessory). The water penetrated is measured by breaking the specimen.
