Description
A bench/floor-standing water permeability testing apparatus designed to determine the depth of water penetration into hardened concrete specimens under sustained water pressure, in accordance with standard concrete durability testing methods.
Key Features
- 6 independent test cells arranged in two tiers of 3, each with its own pressure control valve (Cell 1-6) on the control panel.
- Rugged steel frame construction with durable powder-coated blue enamel finish.
- Individual specimen clamping assembly with threaded compression rods and hand-adjustable top plates for sealing test specimens.
- Digital pressure gauge and pump/power controller mounted on the side control column.
- Main power switch with indicator light.
- Stainless steel specimen platens and base plates for corrosion resistance.
- Suitable for testing concrete cube or cylinder specimens for water impermeability under constant hydraulic head.
Application
Used in concrete quality control and durability assessment to evaluate resistance to water penetration under pressure - a key indicator of concrete permeability and durability performance.
