This test method allows evaluation of chloride permeability characteristics of concrete.The test is performed to monitor the amount of electrical current passing through concrete cores or cylinders. A potential difference is maintained across the ends of the specimen, one of which is the negative end and is immersed in a sodium chloride solution, the other (positive end) in a sodium hydroxide solution. The total charge passed, in Coulombs, that is related to the resistance of the specimen to chloride ion penetration is measured.
Concrete chloride ion electric flux tester is used to measure the resistance to chloride ion penetration (density) of concrete, an important index of concrete durability. The test index is the 6-hour electric flux value of concrete specimen (coulomb), so as to quickly evaluate The equipment adopts international popular multi-usage work patterns to test the concrete Resist Chloride Ion penetration and Chloride migration and provides basic data for evaluation of chloride ion penetration environment durability design of concrete structures.
This method is to evaluate the concrete resistance capacity to chloride ion diffusion, and then to provide the basic parameters with the design and durability of concrete structures and life assessment and prediction in the chloride ion erosion environment. Specimen data can be used as the basis for concrete durability mix design in chloride environment and concrete quality inspection and assessment.
