Concrete Impermeability Test Apparatus
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10292
Concrete Impermeability Test Apparatus (code EL-CTLE-10292) is used to find how deep water penetrates under pressure into specimens of cement, mortar and concrete, one of the main signs of a mix's durability. The specimen, a cube, cylinder or prism with an edge length or diameter of at least 150 mm, is clamped between two flanges sealed with special circular gaskets, and it may be cast in the laboratory or cut as a core from an existing structure.

What Is the Concrete Impermeability Test Apparatus Used For?
A concrete mix is designed for the durability that its site demands, and resistance to the flow of water through it is a key part of that durability, because water carries in the substances that attack concrete and steel. In the test the specimen is clamped between the two gasketed flanges and water under pressure is applied to one face; after the test period the specimen is split and the depth reached by the water is measured. Laboratory-cast specimens check a proposed mix, while cores show how the concrete in a finished structure performs. The standards listed are IS 3085, TS EN 12390-8, EN 12364, DIN 1048 and ISO 7031.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of test units required.
- Specimens — whether cubes, cylinders or prisms (edge or diameter not less than 150 mm), cast or cored, are to be tested.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the impermeability apparatus measure?
It determines the depth to which water under pressure penetrates into cement, mortar and concrete specimens, which shows how well the material resists the flow of water.
What specimen shapes and sizes can be tested for water penetration?
Cubic, cylindrical and prismatic specimens can be tested, provided the length of edge or the diameter is not less than 150 mm.
Can cores taken from an existing structure be tested?
Yes. Specimens may be cast in the laboratory or obtained by cutting cores out of existing structures, so both new mixes and built concrete can be assessed.
How is the specimen sealed during the test?
Two flanges carrying special circular gaskets grip the specimen between them, holding it in place and sealing it while the water pressure acts on it.
Which standards are listed for the impermeability apparatus?
The standards listed are IS 3085, TS EN 12390-8, EN 12364, DIN 1048 and ISO 7031 for this water penetration apparatus.
