Proceq Torrent Permeability Tester

The Proceq Torrent permeability tester permits a rapid and non destructive measurement of the quality of the cover concrete with respect to its durability.

Concrete permeability 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 Torrent permeability tester takes 2-12 minutes. 

Features

• The data is automatically collected by the Proceq Torrent permeability tester
• 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

Application

• Air permeability tester for the on-site assessment of the concrete quality by mean of the unique two-chamber vacuum cell principle.
• Rapid assessment of air permeability
• Totally non-destructive measuring principle
• Correlates well with traditional durability related tests
• Concrete resistance to aggressive agents
• Effectiveness of coatings
• Assessment of fire damaged structures
