Concrete permeability tester Porosiscope Plus™

gold

Porosiscope Plus™ measures the time it takes for air to flow into a known volume of a sealed, evacuated chamber in the concrete. While the vacuum reduces from -55 Kpa to -50 Kpa, a measure of air permeability is determined. For water permeability, porosiscope Plus™ uses the same chamber filled with water, and measures the total time in seconds for a volume of 0.01 ml of water to escape. Surface porosity is determined in like manner using a specially designed surface chamber.
