Porositester The water penetration on facade surfaces is measured according to the Karsten method

Porositester
The water penetration on façade surfaces is measured according to the Karsten method. The Karsten tubes are fixed with the POROSITESTER by means of vacuum pump and vacuum plate to the façade. This fixing method without using adhesive leaves no ugly marks on the façade and the rubber seal guarantees an exact defined penetration surface.
Form as supplied: 3 Karsten tubes, vacuum plate, vacuum pump 10-12V DC.

Inspection case
The case includes all necessary accessories to measure the water penetration (Karsten tubes) and the carbonatization for the detection of chlorides.

Crack measuring
Cracks are measured on the concrete surface at various times. That way the behaviour of the structures can be estimated.
We offer instruments with various accuracies (± 0.001mm up to ± 0.1mm).

Deformation meter
with similar or digital display, accuracy ± 0.001mm.

Measuring magnifier and crack width meter
with measuring scale, accuracy ± 0.05mm.

Crack Monitors
are fixed on the object with a measuring scale, horizontal and vertical measurements also on internal and external corners, accuracy ± 0.10mm.
