Permeability Testers

High Pressure Permeability Test can be conducted on different size specimens using different cells. Each cell is made of steel and provided with a top plate and funnel at the bottom having gasket seals held in position through bolts and nuts. The concrete specimens are sealed in the cell to prevent any leakage along the side walls. The permeated water is collected in glass bottles attached at the bottom.
Each test stall has its own control system, operating pressure gauges and valves. The multi-unit permeameters are so designed that all tests can be performed at the same time using either the same head or varying head pressure as each test stall is provided with its own pressure regulator and control. The control instruments are mounted on a sturdy welded structural stand. All multi-units are provided with end pressure gauge: Each unit is
provided with chamber pressure gauges of 0-20 kg/cm² and test pr gauge of 0-15 kg/cm². Pressures are applied using any available pressure line at the site or a compressor.
