scope:

This test method covers the determination of the electrical resistivity of concrete to provide a very rapid indication of its resistance to the penetration of chloride ions. This test method is applicable to types of concrete where correlations have been established between this test procedure and long-term chloride ponding procedures such as those described in ASTM C1556. Examples of such correlations are discussed in the references (Sections 15.2. and 15.3).

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
