ASTM C1202-22e1 PDF Download

ASTM C1202-22e1 is a standard test method that aims to determine the electrical conductance of concrete in order to assess its resistance to the penetration of chloride ions. This test method provides a rapid indication of the concrete's ability to resist the detrimental effects of chloride ion intrusion. It is applicable to different types of concrete where correlations have been established between this test procedure and long-term chloride ponding procedures.

The standard acknowledges the existence of correlations between this test method and other commonly used long-term test procedures, such as those described in AASHTO T259. These correlations have been discussed in references cited in the standard, ensuring that the test results obtained through this method can be successfully compared and interpreted in relation to traditional testing methods.

It is important to note that the standard also includes explanatory material in the form of notes and footnotes, which provide additional information and guidance. However, it emphasizes that these explanatory notes and footnotes should not be considered as requirements of the standard, but rather as supplementary information to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the test method.
