EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of BS 1881-122 testing. This part of BS 1881 covers a method for determining the water absorption of concrete samples from a structure or precast component.
The method can also be used to determine the water absorption of concrete poured into prisms or cylinders where the surface to volume ratio can be calculated and no point in the sample is more than 50 mm from a free surface.
The test involves saturating a dry concrete sample and then measuring its water absorption rate over a specified period of time. The water absorption rate is a measure of the permeability of concrete and can be used to evaluate its durability and resistance to water penetration.
The standard specifies the equipment required for testing, preparation of samples, testing procedure and calculation of results. The test can be performed on laboratory-cured or field-cured specimens and is suitable for evaluating the water absorption properties of both normal weight and lightweight concrete.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with BS 1881-122 test compliance. Our test experts offer the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories to you, our manufacturers and suppliers, with professional working mission and principles.
