Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/09) is a pressure-cell test unit used to determine how deep water penetrates into concrete and mortar specimens under pressure, a key durability check in civil engineering and material testing laboratories. It is offered in 3-cell and 1-cell models for 100 mm and 150 mm cubes and for 100, 150 and 300 mm cylinders, and accepts specimens cast in the lab or cores cut from existing structures. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

A mix is designed not only for strength but for durability in the conditions at the site, and resistance to water flow is one of the most important durability properties. In this test the specimen is sealed between two flanges with circular gaskets, water under pressure is applied to one face for the period your method specifies, and the specimen is then split to measure how far the water has travelled.
Three-cell models let a laboratory run a set of three specimens together, while the single-cell models take the larger 150 mm and 300 mm cylinders. Because cores from existing structures can be tested as well as laboratory-cast specimens, the apparatus serves both mix-design research and condition surveys. Seat each specimen squarely on its gasket so water can only enter through the test face.
This permeability apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). It is built at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and shipped factory-direct to engineering colleges, research and quality-control laboratories, dealers and importers.
Buying from the manufacturer gives you one point of contact for choosing the right cell configuration, for replacement gaskets or other parts, and for adding cells later — ask us. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

What does the Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus measure?
The Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus measures the depth to which water under pressure penetrates a concrete or mortar specimen. Lower penetration indicates concrete that better resists water flow, an important durability property.
Which models of the permeability apparatus are available?
The Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus comes as 3-cell models for 100 mm cubes, 100 mm cylinders and 150 mm cubes (including a DIN version), and as 1-cell models for 150 mm and 300 mm cylinders. Choose by specimen type and how many you test at once.
What specimens can be tested?
The Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus takes cubic, cylindrical or prismatic specimens clamped between two flanges with circular gaskets; the clamping method is described for an edge or diameter of at least 150 mm. Confirm your specimen size so the right model is quoted.
Can cores from existing structures be tested?
Yes. The Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus accepts mortar and concrete specimens cast in the laboratory as well as cores cut from existing structures, so it can be used for new mix designs and for checking concrete already in service.
Who manufactures the Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus?
The Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions, laboratories, dealers and importers.
What details do you need for a quotation?
