Vacuum Pump for Rapid Chloride Permeability

PROOVEit Large Vacuum Pump for Rapid Chloride Permeability Tester

The PROOVEit Large Vacuum Pump is an essential component for the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT), specifically designed for use with our Large Vacuum Chamber. This powerful pump efficiently evacuates air from the chamber, creating the necessary vacuum environment for accurate and reliable testing of concrete specimens.

Key Features:

• High Capacity: When paired with the Large Vacuum Chamber, this pump can accommodate up to 16 specimens simultaneously, significantly increasing testing throughput and efficiency in busy labs.
• Seamless Integration: The pump easily connects to the vacuum chamber via two fittings on the removable chamber top, ensuring a secure and leak-free seal.
• Durable Connections: Equipped with robust hose barb fittings, the pump readily accepts reinforced 1/4in vinyl vacuum tubing for a reliable and long-lasting connection.
• Optimal Vacuum Performance: Engineered to quickly and effectively achieve the required vacuum levels, ensuring consistent and precise test conditions.
• User-Friendly Operation: Simple hose connections make setup and operation straightforward, reducing potential for error and saving valuable time.

Applications:

This vacuum pump is critical for laboratories and construction companies involved in:

• Quality control of concrete mixes
• Research and development of new concrete materials
• Evaluation of concrete durability against chloride ion penetration

Meets Test Methods:

• ASTM C1202: Standard Test Method for Electrical Indication of Concrete's Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration
• AASHTO T277: Standard Method of Test for Electrical Indication of Concrete's Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration
