Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT)

 
Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT)

This test checks how easily chloride ions can pass through concrete. It helps measure the concrete’s resistance to corrosion, especially in areas exposed to saltwater or chemicals. A concrete sample is tested using an electrical charge to see how much current passes through it over 6 hours.

Advantages of RCPT:

• Shows how durable the concrete is against chloride attack
• Helps prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement
• Useful for marine, coastal, and industrial structures
• Quick results for faster quality control
• Supports long-term structure durability and safety
