The Water Permeability Apparatus is used to determine the depth of penetration of water under pressure in the concrete specimens. The test is performed clamping the specimen – cubic, cylindrical or prismatic of length of edge, or diameter not less than 150 mm – between two flanges with special circular gaskets. The water, under controlled pressure, is then applied to the surface of the concrete specimen.
The penetration of water is measured, after the testing period, by breaking the specimen.
