Product information

The Stormdry Masonry Absorption Test Kit provides all the basic equipment required to test a masonry wall for absorbency and suitability for use with Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream. The test kit includes:Mastic adhesive or sealant for affixing Stormdry Gauges to masonry surface 4 x Stormdry Gauges (also known as Karsten tubes or Rilem tubes) Water bottle with nozzle Paintbrush for applying Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream to test areas Sample tube of Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream. The brush and sample Stormdry cream can be used to demonstrate the compatibility of Stormdry with the substrate to be treated, in a small test area. Refills and replacements of individual components of the kit are available. The Stormdry Gauge can be used to measure water penetration into masonry. It can be particularly useful for simulating the effect of wind-driven rain. Wind-driven rain can cause dampness problems in buildings. This occurs because the combined effect of rain and wind is to apply a pressure which forces rainwater to pass through porous or defective masonry. The Stormdry Gauge is designed to measure the rain penetration potential of masonry. Calculation of the pressures applied shows that when the tube is filled to the zero mark, the pressure equates to that applied by wind-driven rain with a wind-speed of 98mph.
