Permeability Tester - Torrent

The Torrent permeability tester permits a rapid and non destructive measurement of the quality of the cover concrete with respect to its durability. Concrete permeability, with respect to air and water, is an excellent indicator of the potential durability and resistance of a particular concrete against the ingress of aggressive media in the gaseous or liquid state. A measurement with Proceq’s permeability tester takes 2-12 minutes depending on the permeability of the concrete.

Features

• The data is automatically collected by the Torrente permeability tester and the permeability coefficient kT as well as the penetration depth L of the vacuum are automatically calculated
• The quality class of the concrete cover of dry concrete can be read from a table using the kT value
• In the case of moist concrete, kT is combined with electrical concrete resistance ρ (rho) and the quality class is determined from a nomogram
• Optional resistance Wenner-probe to correct the influence of concrete moisture is available.

Application

• The Torrent permeability tester determines the quality of concrete cover
• The Torrent permeability tester assesses the durability of a concrete structure

Warranties

• Standard 2-year limited warranty on electronic parts
• Optional extended warranty periods up to 3 additional years
