EN 12390-8 Hardened Concrete Tests - Test for Water Penetration Depth Under Pressure

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12390-8 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining the depth of penetration of water under pressure in hardened concrete.

EN 12390-8 Hardened Concrete Tests - Test for Water Penetration Depth Under Pressure

The test involves applying water to the surface of a concrete sample under pressure and observing the depth of penetration of the water into the sample after a certain time.

The test is performed at a specific pressure, typically 0,5 MPa, and the exposure time to water is usually 72 hours.

The penetration depth of water under pressure is an important measure of concrete's durability as it demonstrates the concrete's resistance to water penetration, which can lead to material deterioration. The test results can be used to evaluate the quality of concrete and its suitability for different applications.
