EN 12390-12 Hardened Concrete Tests - Accelerated Carbonation Test of Concrete

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 12390-12 test. This procedure is a method for assessing the carbonation resistance of concrete using test conditions that accelerate the carbonation rate.

EN 12390-12 Hardened Concrete Tests - Accelerated Carbonation Test of Concrete

Carbonation of concrete is a natural process that occurs when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reacts with calcium hydroxide in concrete to form calcium carbonate. This process can lead to a decrease in the pH of the concrete and a potential reduction in the strength and durability of the material. Therefore, determining the carbonation resistance of concrete is an important issue in the construction industry.

One method of assessing the carbonation resistance of concrete is the accelerated carbonation method. This test involves exposing concrete samples to a high concentration of carbon dioxide in a controlled environment for a specified period of time. The accelerated carbonation test can provide an estimate of the carbonation resistance of concrete over a shorter period of time than the natural carbonation process.
