Testing device expedites measurement of hardened concrete CO2 uptake

Sources: University of Tokyo; CP staff University of Tokyo researchers have unveiled the concrete thermal gravimetry and gas analyzer, a boxlike device gauging carbon dioxide absorbed in hardened specimens. A concrete block placed inside the device is heated to 980°C, releasing CO2 and other readily measured gases. The process takes about one-third of the time of the current measurement method, which…
