This test method covers the determination of water-soluble nitrite concentration in hardened hydraulic-cement concrete. The method requires experience with chemical analysis and should be done by a chemist or under the direction of a chemist.
corrosion inhibitor; calcium nitrite;
Calcium nitrite is a commonly used corrosion-inhibiting admixture for use in hydraulic-cement concrete. Specifying agencies often require that the dosage of nitrite-based corrosion inhibitor in hardened concrete be confirmed.
