“…In these areas it has been proven that the use of sorption balance is able to obtain similar results to other common techniques (Johannesson and Janz 2002;Arlabosse et al 2003;Fei et al 2006). Over the last 10 years, sorption balances have been put to use more and more for cementitious materials (Anderberg and Wadsö 2008;Johannesson and Utgenannt 2001;Johannesson 2002;Robens et al 2002;Espinosa and Franke 2006;Åhs 2008;Scheffler et al 2009;De Belie et al 2010;Maruyama 2010;Dubina et al 2011;Pavlík et al 2012;Dubina et al 2014;Saeidpour and Wadsö 2015;Jennings et al 2015;M.

Among the necessary data in the description of the transport of water, the retention curve is a vital piece of information whose characterization can turn out to be long and fastidious. Within this framework, sorption balance is being put to use more and more often in laboratories. These experimental devices enable a faster onset for water balance using small amounts of substances previously reduced to powder. This approach proves to be particularly adapted to homogenous materials (cement pastes generally) but not to concrete because of the presence of aggregate. This article, first of all, clarifies in a summarized manner the working of sorption balance based on the results obtained with cement pastes. Secondly, a simplified method is proposed to test concrete.
