Porosiscope™ determines air and water permeability in concrete

Porosiscope™ determines air and water permeability in concrete both at and below the surface. The field test for air and water permeability of concrete using the Figg technique.

Introducing Porosiscope Plus™, the ultimate solution for measuring the permeability of concrete. With its advanced technology, Porosiscope Plus™ accurately measures the time it takes for air to flow into a sealed, evacuated chamber in the concrete, allowing for precise determination of air permeability.

But that's not all. Porosiscope Plus™ also measures water permeability, using the same chamber filled with water. By measuring the time it takes for a volume of water to escape, Porosiscope Plus™ provides an accurate measure of water permeability in just seconds.

And for surface porosity, Porosiscope Plus™ has a specially designed surface chamber that allows for easy measurements. By clamping the stainless steel chamber onto the surface of the concrete and measuring the time it takes for air and water to permeate through the concrete, Porosiscope Plus™ provides valuable insights into the condition of any concrete sealant or surface mortar.

So whether you need to measure air permeability, water permeability, or surface porosity, Porosiscope Plus™ has got you covered. With its advanced technology and easy-to-use design, Porosiscope Plus™ is the ultimate solution for measuring the permeability of concrete.

Applications

• Service life prediction
• Coating verification testing
• Determine susceptibility to chloride and carbonation penetration.

Features and benefits

• Both air and water permeability are measured by the same instrument.
• Permeability both at the concrete surface as well as within the concrete mass can be determined.
• Porosity in sealants and surface mortars can be checked.
• The test is non-destructive (only a small plugged hole required) and can be completely carried out on site.
• Each test can be completed in only a few minutes and gives reliable reproducible results.
• The test enables meaningful concrete durability predictions to be made.
