Specialized Tests

R3 Reactivity Testing

We can measure the reactivity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and pozzolans by evaluating their heat release and calcium hydroxide consumption.

Carbonation Testing

We can evaluate the carbon sink properties of concrete and SCM by measuring the carbonation rate and depth of samples exposed to CO2 in an incubator.

Corrosion Testing

We conduct a wide range of electrochemical tests, which include Macrocell corrosion, linear polarization, potentiodynamic, and EIS measurements.

Chloride Binding

We can measure chloride binding isotherms in cementitious systems and determine the parameters of well-known binding isotherms.
