The corrosion of steel in concrete is an electro-chemical process which creates a current
flow causing metal to dissolve so that it is possible to assess the probability of
reinforcement corrosion by evaluating the electrical resistance of the concrete. The
factor is measured in terms of resistivity and expressed in Ohm.
The resistivity of concrete varies over a complete structure due to a variety of changing
site conditions from day to day so that other methods, like half-cell potential or impact
testing, should be combined to ensure the data. Generally, the probability of the steel
corrosion increases, the concrete resistivity deceases.
One of the practical problem of concrete resisitivity testing is to ensure the good
electrical contact between the electrodes and concrete surface. In Resitest-400M Concrete Resistivity Tester, Sponge
insert type sensor is used for good electrical contact. Resitest-400M is supplied with
Wenner sensor,carrying pouch, reference block, connection cable, AC adaptor, sensor
cleaning bottle, insert sponge, aluminium bag and instruction manual. |
