Dear Colegues,
I am looking for information on how to judge quality of the concrete on the basis of the sorptivity test ASTM C 1585?
Something like for example for Autoclam (Table 1):

Is it defined? I found only the results reported for a variety of concrete in the technical specifications such as:

Dear Sarbjeet Singh,
Thank You for Your reply, but I am looking for a specific limit values for concrete: very good quality, good quality, medium quality, acceptable and unacceptable quality. For example table with Autoclam test method limits:

In my oppinion a very good quality of the concrete with this test in my oppinion is OK if the sorptivity value is under 5 x 10-5 m/s1/2 , but a single value is not the only correct interpretation. The consistency of this value in several consecutive test is very important. The lower value of the sorptivity is a correct evaluation of the interconection and the tortuosity of the capillar porous of the concrete. When this interconection and tor4tuosity is bigger, the protection of the concrete against the aggressive elements will be bigger.
