RAPID CHLORIDE PERMEABILITY TESTER AZA1144
Advanced Six-Cell System for Concrete Durability Evaluation
ASTM C1202 Compliant – Rapid Chloride Ion Penetration Testing
The AZA1144 Rapid Chloride Permeability Tester is a high-precision durability assessment system engineered to measure the resistance of concrete to chloride ion penetration. Chloride permeability is a critical parameter in determining long-term durability, especially for structures exposed to marine environments, saltwater spray, de-icing salts, and chemical-rich industrial zones.
Designed for research laboratories, material testing centers, infrastructure quality control units, and academic institutions, the AZA1144 enables users to perform Rapid Chloride Permeability Tests (RCPT) strictly in accordance with ASTM C1202. This rapid method provides concrete permeability results within six hours, significantly reducing the time required compared to traditional testing methods.
