Introduction
1.1
Proove’it© Classic
The
Proove’it
©
Classic Microprocessor Power Supply Unit is capable to perform testing with up to 8
channels simultaneously at one set voltage (
See figure 1
). The voltage range is 0 to 60 V, adjustable in 5 V
steps. Therefore, the Proove’it Classic can be used for testing in accordance with:
-
ASTM C 1202 “Standard Test Method for Electrical Indication of Concretes Ability to Resist
Chloride Ion Penetration” (so called The Rapid Chloride Permeability Test or RCPT).
-
ASTM C 1760 “Standard Test Method for Bulk Electrical Conductivity of Hardened Concrete”.
-
NT BUILD 492 “Nordtest Method for concrete, mortar and cement-based repair materials:
Chloride Migration Coefficient from Non-Steady State Migration Experiments”.
-
XP P 18-462 “Accelerated Migration Test of Chloride Ions under Non-Steady State”.
-
XP P 18-461 “Accelerated Migration Test of Chloride Ions under Stationary State”.
The software and all testing cells are compatible with the microprocessor power supply unit.

1.2
Proove’it Cell
The cell is the accessory that holds the concrete specimen, the NaCL and the NaOH solutions in order to
perform the test (
See figure 2).
The standard cell might have some variations depending on the test standard to be run,
such as: ASTM
C1202, ASTM C1760, NT Build 492, etc. (
See figure 3).
