Product Description

Perma2 Rapid Chloride Permeability

Description of Perma2 Rapid Chloride Permeability

Perma2 is a laboratory test device for measuring the electrical resistance of concrete against the penetration of chloride (RCPT) according to the standard methods such as ASTM C1202, AASHTO T277 and ASTM C1760. The measurement data derived from this test method can be used to estimate the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete in service life predictions and structure design, as well as durability-based quality control of concrete. Perma2 is electrically certified for rapid chloride penetrability testing in concrete laboratories and is the only RCPT device that meets the specifications of ASTM and AASHTO specifications. Perma2 provides an easy-to-use, stand-alone testing device, which is accurate to ±0.1mA. It can test up to 4 samples at a time with a flexible logging time of 1-10 minutes depending on test and sample parameters. It also features automatic temperature control and customizable setups Optional, user-friendly PC software and USB connection to computers.

Applications of Perma2 Rapid Chloride Permeability

• Concrete’s ability to resist chloride ion penetration
• Bulk electrical conductivity of concrete
• Performance-based quality control of concrete
• Estimation of chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete
• Estimation of chloride migration coefficient of concrete
• Estimation of the remaining life of concrete structures
• Service life design of concrete structures
