FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved
Division Council.

Standards, after the draft

by the Civil Engineering

A number of proprietary integral waterproofing compounds for mortar and concrete exist in the market which
according to the manufacturers
recommendations,
may be added to cement to render the mortar or concrete
waterproof.
Earlier recommendations
were not available to test these products for their efficacy as waterproof
or their effects on other properties of cement. This standard was, therefore, published in 1964 and was
subsequently
revised in 1975.
It is necessary that all constituent materials in concrete including integral waterproofing
compounds for
mortar and concrete.should,
as far as possible, be free from chlorides and sulphates. Sometimes, waterproofing
compounds are likely to contain water soluble chlorides and sulphates which may cause corrosion of steel
reinforcement
in reinforced concrete and also produce other harmful effects in concrete. IS 456:2000
Code
of practice for plain and reinforced concrete (@wth revision) specifies the permissible limit of chlorides and
sulphates in the concrete. The Committee, while reviewing the standard in 1984 felt that the dosage of
sulphates in waterproofing
compounds was so small that contribution of these compounds to the total soluble
sulphates in concrete would be insignificant when compared to the limit of sutphates specified in IS 456 and
that the adverse effects of chlorides in concrete and its control through limiting the chlorides from the concrete
materials and admixtures were most significant.
The Committee, therefore, issued an .Amendment to this
standard through which it was provided that the chloride content in the waterproofing
compound would be
declared by the manufacturer so that different samples of waterproofing compounds could be compared and
Engineer-in-Charge
was in knowledge of the amount of chlorides entering into concrete through waterproofing
compound.
This revision has been brought out to incorporate modifications
found necessary based on the experience
gained with the use of this standard and Specia]ly in the context of recent developments
in this field in the
country,
The significant

modifications

included

are as follows :

a) Use of 43 and 53 Grades of ordinary

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
Ru]es for rounding off numerical W]UW (reviseO.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded

(Clause 3.1)
TEST METHOD FOR DETERMINATION
OF PERMEABILITY
TO WATER OF
CEMENT MORTARS WITH AND WITHOUT ADDITION OF INTEGRAL
WATERPROOFING
COMPOUND
B-1 GENERAL

The water cell shall be a 100 mm diameter brass

cylinder and the top and bottom plates shall be either
of brass or any other non-corroding
metal.
The
connecting pipeline from the water cell to the water
pressure vessel shall also be of non-corroding
metal
or of hard polythene. This requirement is necessary
since the tests last over a number of days in which
mild steel or allied materials will corrode and the
rust formed will coat the top of the specimen and
affect the permeability.
The connection of units to
the compressor shall be done by means of armoured
heavy duty rubber hose.

This method
of test covers the procedure
for
determining the permeability to water of the cement
sand mortar specimen, prepared with and without the
addition of the waterpro.oflng compound and cured
under specified
conditions,
by measuring
the
percolation
of water through standard cylindrical
specimen.

Permeability

Unit

The water pressure vessel shall be made of galvanized

steel and capable of withstanding the applied pressure
with an adequate margin of safety.

The permeability
unit shall consist of a specimen
container ring of 100 mm diameter and 50 mm height
held between a bottom plate and a water cell. The
hydraulic
head for testing shall be obtained by
connecting the unit to a, compressor through a water
pressure vessel. A pressure regulator and a pressure
gauge shall be included between the compressor and
water pressure vessel to indicate the test pressure.
Water percolating
through the specimen .shali be
collected in a container Fig. I and Fig. 2 give the
details of an individual unit.

and
recombined to yield the following gradation:

the temperature of the water and that of the test room
at the time when the above operations are being
performed shall be 27 * 2C.

required for each specimen shall be as follows :
a) Cement

b) Waterproofing
c) Standard

: As recommended
by manufacturer
:700

The amount of water used for gauging shall be equal

to produce a flow of 75 * 5 percent as determined in
accordance
with the procedure given in 9.5.3 of
IS 1727.
The mixture of cement and standard sand shall be
placed on a non-porous plate. It shall be mixed dry
with a trawel for 1 min and then with water until the
mixture is of uniform colour. The quantity of water
to be used shall be as specified in 4.2. The time of
mixing shall be not less than 3 min and should the
time taken to obtain a uniform colour exceed 4 rein,
the mixture-shall be rejected and the operation repeated
with a fresh quantity of cement, sand and water.
NOTE Wherever possible, mixing with Hobart type mortar
mixer is recommended.
In such cases, it is desirable to take a
batch of 300 g cement and 1500 g regraded sand since in the
llobart mixer efficiency is better with a 1 800 g -2000
g
hatch. The material used for the flow test can be collected
back into the bowl, mixed again for 15 sat medium speed and
osed for casting.
In case where flow test is omitted after
completion of mixing, allow the mortar to stand for 90s, remix
l~]r 15 s at medium speed and later mould two test specimen.

PREPARATION

B-6 CU-RING AND STORAGE

OF SPECIMEN

Keep the container ring with the specimen

at a
temperature of 27 + 2C in an atmosphere of at least
90 percent relative humidity for 24 h. At the end of
that period submerge the specimen in clean fresh water
and keep there for 20 days, and take it out just prior
to testing.
The water in which the specimens are
submerged shall be changed every 7 days and shall
be maintained at a temperature of 27 + 2C.

10 blows of the standard rammer. During compaction
the guide of the rammer shall remain in contact with
the wall of the container ring. It shall be moved
through a uniform distance after each blow so as to
cover the entire periphery container ring atler 10 blows.
After compaction the top specimen shall be Ievelled
off with a 12 mm diameter rod slowly and firmly
moved over the surface. No troweling of other type
of the finish shall be allowed.

OF SPECIMEN

The container ring shall be given a thin coating of

neat cement slurry and the mortar shall be placed in

B-7 PROCEDURE

Ol? TEST

The specimen shall be lightly wire brushed on either

faces to remove Iaitance, surface tines, etc and washed.
Later each of the specimen shall be fitted into the
permeability ceil as shown in Fig. 2.
An initial pressure of about 0.05 N/mm
shall be
applied to the water and from time to time the collecting
container shall -be taken out and weighed to determine
the rate of percolation.
The rate of percolation will
be comparatively
high in the initial stages and
will then become stabilized.
At this stage the
pressure shall be increased again by 0.05 N/mni2 and
this procedure repeated until a final pressure of
0.2 N/mm is reached. When a stable flow has been
reached at this pressure, readings of the percolation
shall be taken at fixed intervals of time for 8 h.

recommended proportions. If the average percolation
(measured in millilitres of water) for the specimen
incorporating the waterproofing compound is less than
50 percent of the average percolation in the case of

the two values agree within 10 percent of-their average;
otherwise a retest shall be made.
