At Accu-Test, we understand the critical importance of identifying and mitigating corrosion risks in reinforced concrete. Our skilled team of experts utilizes advanced half-cell potential testing techniques to accurately assess the corrosion potential of your structures. By measuring the electrical potential at various locations on the surface of the concrete, we can detect areas prone to corrosion and identify potential weak points per ASTM C876. This non-destructive testing approach allows us to evaluate the condition of the reinforcement and provide crucial insights for targeted maintenance and corrosion prevention strategies.

The Half-Cell Potential Test , in accordance with ASTM C876, is widely used for the assessment of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. Here are some key applications of this test:

  • Comprehensive testing program of concrete and masonry samples
  • Comprehensive testing program of steel samples
  • Evaluation of material strength, durability, composition, and other key factors
  • In-house materials extraction services for concrete cores, steel coupons, and masonry blocks
  • Identifying areas of active corrosion within reinforced concrete structures.
  • Assessing the severity and extent of corrosion on reinforcement bars.
  • Locating potential corrosion hotspots and weak points within the structure.
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of corrosion prevention measures and repair strategies.
  • Monitoring the progress of corrosion over time to determine the rate of deterioration.
  • Assessing the overall condition and durability of reinforced concrete structures.
  • Providing valuable data for targeted maintenance and corrosion mitigation plans.
  • Assisting in the selection of appropriate repair and rehabilitation techniques.
  • Verifying the effectiveness of corrosion protection systems, such as coatings or cathodic protection.
  • Conducting condition assessments and establishing baseline data for long-term monitoring.
