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.

Applications

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

Features & 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.
