Abstract
Two commercially available chloride analysis field test kits were evaluated and compared with the standard AASHTO T260 test method for determining the total chloride ion content in concrete. The comparisons indicate that at chloride concentration levels above 0.010% by weight of concrete, there is a good linear correlation between the test kits and the standard AASHTO T260 method. However, the chloride content data obtained with the field kits represent only about 60% of the actual value. At chloride concentrations below about 0.010%, the correlation and the detection capability of the test kits are poor.
