Permeability Tester - Torrent
The Torrent permeability tester permits a rapid and non destructive measurement of the quality of the cover concrete with respect to its durability. Concrete permeability is an excellent indicator of the potential durability and resistance of a particular concrete against the ingress of aggressive media in the gaseous or liquid state. A measurement with Proceq’s permeability tester takes 2-12 minutes.
Features
- The data is automatically collected by the Torrent permeability tester
- The quality class of the concrete cover of dry concrete can be read from a table using the kT value
- In the case of moist concrete, kT is combined with electrical concrete resistance ρ (rho) and the quality class is determined from a nomogram
- Optional resistance Wenner-probe to correct the influence of concrete moisture is available with the permeability tester.
Application
- The Torrent permeability tester determines the quality of concrete cover
- The Torrent permeability tester assesses the durability of a concrete structure
Standardization
The following standards can be applied to the permeability tester
- SN 505 252/1, Annex E
