CARBONATION TEST SET FOR CONCRETE-EN 13295

Compliance Standards

EN 13295

Details

This simple test allows the measurement of depth of carbonation through the surface of concrete. During the test, the broken or cored surface is sprayed with Carbon detect solution to detect the loss of alkalinity associated with carbonation. The solution is applied to a fresh fracture surface of concrete. If the indicator turns purple, the pH is above 8.6. Where the solution remains colorless, the pH of the concrete is below 8.6, suggesting carbonation. A fully‑carbonated paste has a pH of about 8.4.

Test set is conforming to EN 13295 for measurement of the depth of carbonation and including:

• 1 plastic wash bottle
• 1 depth gauge
• 1 bottle of Carbo detect reagent.

Note

Carbonation chamber, Moulds and split test attachment with CTM can be supplied at extra cost
