Description
Product Introduction
This equipment is used to evaluate the sulfate‑resistance of ordinary concrete with high strength grades under dry–wet cycling conditions.
Implementation Standard:
GB/T 50082 “Standard for Test Methods of Long-Term Performance and Durability of Ordinary Concrete”; “Test Method for Freeze–Thaw Resistance of Concrete”; RILEM TC 117‑FDC 1995; “Equipment for Freeze–Thaw Testing of Concrete” JG/T 243; “Test Procedures for Hydraulic Concrete” SL/T 352; “Test Procedures for Cement and Cement Concrete in Highway Engineering” JTG 3420.
Features:
1. It can perform immersion, air-drying, oven-drying, and cooling cycles on test specimens.
2. Microcomputer-controlled; the dry–wet cycling process is displayed in real time on an LCD screen.

Test procedure:
Concrete specimens are removed from the standard curing chamber, dried, and then placed in a dry–wet testing chamber (the reservoir must be filled at once with 160 kg of a 5% sodium sulfate solution). The specimens are evenly arranged on the rack, with a 30 mm gap maintained between each specimen.
2.1 Specimen Immersion: The solution level shall extend at least 5 mm above the specimen surface, and the specimen shall be immersed for 16 ± 0.5 hours.
2.2 Drying the Specimens: After soaking is complete, the drain valve automatically opens; within 30 minutes, drain the solution completely and allow the specimens to dry, starting from the drain…
The total time required for the liquid to dry on the specimen is 1 hour.
2.3 Drying of Specimens: After air-drying is complete, proceed with oven drying. Raise the specimen temperature to 80°C ± 5°C and maintain this temperature for 6 hours.
2.4 Specimen Cooling: After drying is complete, the refrigeration system is activated to bring the temperature inside the specimen chamber close to room temperature.
Note 1: In the container used for soaking the specimens, the ratio of the volume of the solution to the volume of the specimen shall be maintained at 3 ± 0.1.
Note 2: During the test, the pH of the solution should be checked regularly—typically once a week during the first month, and thereafter at intervals of…
Perform 15 cycles, maintaining the solution’s pH between 6 and 8 and its temperature within the range of 20–25°C.
After the specimen has cooled to room temperature, complete one dry–wet cycling test cycle, then immerse it in the solution and proceed according to steps 2.1–2.4 described above.
The method proceeds to the next wet–dry cycle.
2.5 At each set of ten wet–dry cycles, perform a weighing test on the specimen under test, concurrently conduct a compressive or flexural strength test, and inspect the surface for any signs of damage.
2.6 During the dry–wet cycling test, an equal number of specimens shall be prepared and subjected to standard curing as a reference for compressive strength testing or…
Control specimens for flexural strength. The test shall be terminated when the corrosion resistance coefficient of mass is below 95%, or when the corrosion resistance coefficient of compressive strength (cube specimens) falls below 85%, or when the corrosion resistance coefficient of flexural strength (prismatic specimens) drops below 70%, or upon reaching 50 dry–wet cycles.
