Service life and durability assessment of reinforced concrete structures.

The construction industry is rapidly moving towards performance-based specifications for concrete durability of new structures; at the same time, the assessing of service life of actual reinforced concrete elements is being a subject of increasing concern in the industry.

Half-cell potential, concrete resistivity and concrete cover air permeability are the main and most widely accepted indicators of the likelihood of corrosion and estimated durability of a concrete structure.

Proceq’s Profometer Corrosion, Resipod and Torrent instruments are designed and manufactured to assess the durability of concrete structures by measuring corrosion potential, concrete resistivity and permeability.
