Permeability
Apparatus (Single Cell Model) for Concrete Testing - One of the
durability tests of concrete is used to know the permeability of water
through the sample. Permeability equipment is used for determining the
permeability of cement mortar and concrete samples of 15cm cubes cast in
the laboratory. Specification: The concrete permeability apparatus
consists of a brass/gunmetal cell of Square/Round cross-section mounted
on a stand and a pressure chamber is connected to the cell through
copper tubing and T-connector mounted on the stand with sleeve packed
valve and rubber hose pipe with end connections. The cell assembly
comprises of one base plate, one metal funnel, and one top plate. The
pressure chamber is fitted with a pressure regulator which helps in
regulating the pressure from 0-15kg/cm sq. Gauge is for indicating the
pressure in the cell. A foot pump and a pressure tube is supplied to
develop pressure in the chamber. The apparatus is supplied with a
measuring cylinder 500cc to measure percolated quantity to water.
Pressure can also be applied; by a pressure air line or by a compressor
which can be supplied at an extra cost..
