Determination of the carbonation depth of mortar and concrete
Indicator solutions play an important role in the investigation of the carbonation depth of concrete or mortar. They allow the assessment of whether the alkalinity of the pore fluid in the area of the reinforcing steel is sufficient to prevent corrosion. These solutions are particularly useful in the analysis of concrete and mortar samples in laboratory applications and in vitro diagnostics. The application of indicator solutions involves the testing of various factors, such as composition, storage conditions, and time, to provide a meaningful assessment of carbonation depth. These solutions are essential in specialized laboratory testing and help ensure the integrity of structures and prevent corrosion damage.
