Permeability Apparatus (Single Cell Model) :
ZI 2047
IS 3085
One of the durability test of concrete is to determine permeability of water through specimen. Permeability apparatus is used for determining the permeability of cement mortar and concrete specimens of 15cm cubes cast in the laboratory.
Specification :
The concrete permeability apparatus comprises 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 consists 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.
