What is BS EN 15183 - Corrosion protection test and repair of concrete structures about?
BS EN 15183 specifies a method for determining the corrosion protection performance of corrosion protection products or systems, as defined in EN 1504-7.
Who is BS EN 15183 - Corrosion protection test and repair of concrete structures for?
BS EN 15183 on corrosion protection test and repair of concrete structures is useful for:
- Construction industries
- Architects
- Civil engineers
- Testing laboratories of concrete structures
- Manufactures of concrete products
Why should you use BS EN 15183 - Corrosion protection test and repair of concrete structures?
Corrosion testing assesses a material's resistance to corrosion under a variety of conditions, including temperature, humidity, and saltwater.
BS EN 15183 specifies the corrosion protection system that is applied to steel rods and a steel plate. The coating is removed from one longitudinal edge of the steel plate to investigate the potential for under-film corrosion. Half of the plate and each of the bars is embedded in concrete. The specimens are exposed to a series of weathering cycles. This will help you for removing the steel from the concrete, then remove the corrosion protection product and examine the steel for evidence of corrosion on the steel.
Overall, BS EN 15183 assists you with the method of testing the corrosion protection provided by coatings for application to reinforcing bars of products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures.
