WATER PENETRATION TEST KIT
Water Penetration Test Kit is used as a rapid testing procedure of water
penetration in building materials, including concrete, masonry, stone,
plaster and other porous mineral material. It simulates pelting rain during
2x hurricane condition (157 km/h) according to the Karsten method.
We strongly recommend using this method for evaluation of water
resistance before and after waterproofing treatment.
The test consists of a glass tube filled with water, connected to the test
material through plastiline. Water pressure is then exerted on the surface.
Gradually a scale indicates the amount of water penetrated into the
surface.
THE WATER PENETRATION KIT INCLUDES:
• 3 Glass tubes for vertical test (i.e. walls)
• 3 Glass tubes for horizontal test (i.e. floors, roofs)
• 1 Laboratory water bottle
• 250 gr Plastiline (sticky clay)
• 1 Marker
• Manual
REPLACEMENTS:
• Vertical tube
• Horizontal tubes
• Plastiline
