Cement Permeability Apparatus

One of the durability tests 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.The test is performed clamping the specimen - cubic, cylindrical or prismatic of length of edge, or diameter not less than 150 mm - between two flanges with special circular gaskets.
