BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Engineering Laboratory, Materials and Structural Systems Division, Infrastructure Materials Group has a requirement for the following system:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory (EL) Materials and Structural Systems Division (MSSD) supports basic research and the development of test methods in response to a crisis for homeowners in Northeastern Connecticut, where residential foundations have crumbled and cracked because of the inclusion of aggregate containing the mineral pyrrhotite. The damage occurs over a period of years, limiting researchers- ability to study the phenomenon in the lab. Currently proposed methods to accelerate the oxidation process at the heart of the problem are ineffectual or have secondary effects that complicate the analysis of results. MSSD is studying the use of ozone exposure as an effective accelerator that introduces fewer complicating factors. Preliminary small-scale experiments showed promising results but were limited by the range of achievable ozone concentrations in the equipment used, the inability to continuously expose the sample to ozone, and the size of the sample chamber. A dedicated ozone exposure chamber is required to meet milestones and goals.
The MSSD will benefit from this p...
