Application
-
Conducting the measurement
- Fill the test tube with tap water up to the top graduation mark.
- Use the stopwatch to measure the amount of water that penetrates the building material in a period of e.g. 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 15 minutes, and record the results.
- When a fill level of 3 ml is reached, refill the test tube. Record this water volume.
- Once the test is complete, carefully detach the test tube from the base using a filling knife.Refilling the test tube
.
When the level reaches 3 ml, refill the stand tube.
Record this amount of water.
After completion of the test, carefully remove the test tube from the substrate with a trowel.For detailed information regarding the application, please refer to the data sheet "Implementation Instructions".
