Concrete Chloride Content Test

Concrete Chloride Content Test
This test checks how much chloride (salt) is present in concrete. Too much chloride can cause steel reinforcement to rust, which leads to cracks and weakens the structure over time. The test is usually done in a lab by analyzing concrete powder samples to measure the chloride levels.

Advantages of Chloride Content Testing:

• Prevents early corrosion of steel reinforcement
• Increases the lifespan of concrete structures
• Helps in maintenance planning and repairs
• Ensures compliance with building standards
• Improves overall safety and durability of concrete
