Preparing specimen:
Formula
The formula for molarity (M) is: moles of solute / 1 liter of solution or
gram-molecular masses of solute / 1 liter of solution.
Examples
Na Sodium 22.989769282
O Oxygen 15.99943
H Hydrogen 1.007947
Take acrylic diffuser cell set and assemble the concrete specimen
between the cells. Ensure that brass washer and the neoprene
rubber washers are properly seated. Check for any gap between the
edges of concrete specimen and the acrylic diffuser cell. Apply silicon
compound over the edges and to the surface of the concrete
specimen to arrest the leakage of chemical solutions while testing.
We can set the record time as 30 minutes and also the Log time as 6
hours. The data logger will take the readings of corresponding cells
at the every record time with its initial readings. At the end of Log
time, the system should stop after taking the final reading.
Now the stored data will be transferred to the PC. The equipment
will calculate the total charge flow through the all cells using the
formula.
Calculation :
ICUMMULATIVE = ( I0 + I360)/2+I30 +I60 + I90 + I120 +I150 + I180 +I210 + I240 +I270
+ I300 +I330.
CHLORIDE PERMEABILITY:
The reading chart from the PC will in an excel file. Current readings and the
timings of all the channels are available in excel file. The temperature readings
of channels at the test period also given. The temperature readings are taken
for analysis of concrete moulds.
In a separate sheet the real time and current in milli ampere are entered as in
sheet 1. Select all the readings. All in the excel file only. Then click insert
cursor. Recommended chart will be visible. Click recommended chart. Many
graphs will appear. Select the suitable graph pattern and press the enter key.
The size of graph can be altered using the mouse. Similarly current graph for all
the cells can be drawn.
