The Freeze-thaw chamber has been designed to comply with standard NFP18-425 (freezing in air and thawing in water) to determine the frost resistance of hardened concrete.
The chamber is built to function in a dusty environment.
The samples cabinet is equipped with casters. Rails are laid inside the chamber to guide the cabinet when when loading and unloading. These operations are eased by a handling trolley specially designed to be locked on the chamber and supplied as standard.
The samples cabinet is supplied by an external water tank, which os regulated at the test temperature by a conditioning group.
Functioning principles :
The samples cabinet, placed inside the chamber, is conditioned in temperature in order to realize “freeze-thaw” cycles according to the standard to carry out.
The samples temperature is measured by a probe, drowned inside a concrete sample.
