EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of BS 1881-211 testing. This British Standard defines the procedures and terminology for the inspection of cured concrete and mortar. The procedures are intended to be performed by a suitably qualified or experienced concrete petrographer.
The basic application of the method described requires the use of a polarizing petrological microscope for the examination of concretes containing Portland and other cements.
The petrographic procedures outlined are applicable to the examination of specimens of any hardened hydraulic cementitious material, including concrete, mortar, grout, cement and gypsum plaster, plaster, terrazzo, and similar materials.
The petrographic examination results can be used to identify concrete defects and deterioration mechanisms, evaluate the suitability of concrete for its intended use, and develop appropriate repair and maintenance strategies.
