At Amtest UK, we provide expert air content testing to ensure the performance and durability of air-entrained concrete. This critical test evaluates the volume of air voids within fresh concrete, a key factor for achieving freeze-thaw resistance and enhanced workability.

What is Air Content Testing?

Air content testing, conducted in accordance with BS EN 12350-7, measures the air content in fresh concrete. Air-entrained concrete is specifically designed with controlled air voids to improve durability under challenging environmental conditions, such as frost and de-icing salts. Ensuring the correct air content is crucial for meeting project specifications and achieving long-term structural integrity.

Applications of Air Content Testing

• Freeze-Thaw Durability: Ensures concrete can withstand cycles of freezing and thawing, critical for outdoor and exposed structures.
• Optimised Mix Design: Verifies that the air-entraining agent is performing as expected, achieving the desired workability and strength balance.
• Compliance: Confirms that the concrete mix complies with project specifications and regulatory standards.
