Perma2 Rapid Chloride Permeability Test Cell

Giatec Perma2 Rapid Chloride Permeability Test Cell

Supported Standards: AASHTO T277, ASTM C1202, ASTM C1760

The Perma2™ is a cutting-edge laboratory device designed to measure the electrical resistance of concrete against chloride penetration (RCPT) based on industry standards such as ASTM C1202, AASHTO T277, and ASTM C1760. This tool provides critical data for estimating the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete, making it invaluable for service-life predictions, structural design, and durability-based quality control. Perma2™ is the only RCPT device fully compliant with ASTM and AASHTO specifications and is electrically certified for use in concrete laboratories.

Key Features:

• Stand-alone and easy-to-use design with ±0.1 mA accuracy.
• Tests up to 4 samples simultaneously with a flexible logging interval (1–10 minutes).
• Automatic temperature control and customizable test setups.
• Optional PC software with a USB connection for enhanced user experience.

Applications:

• Measuring concrete resistance to chloride ion penetration (ASTM C1202, AASHTO T277).
• Determining bulk electrical conductivity of concrete (ASTM C1760).
• Performance-based quality control of concrete.
• Estimating chloride diffusion and migration coefficients.
• Assessing the remaining life and service-life design of concrete structures.

Included Accessories: Perma2™ comes with a complete set of test cells, temperature sensors, test cables, power cord, USB cable, user manual, communication software, gauged vacuum pump assembly, desiccator assembly, and PC software.
