Abstract: A new method for operating chlorides electrodiffusion test is proposed. This method allows getting chlorides flux through the sample in steady state by using current transfer, which are obtained from a chronoamperometry. A comparison of results obtained by the model with those obtained by a classical dosage of chlorides in the downstream solution of the cell has been carried out for mortars and cement pastes. The model results seem to be closer to those of experimental dosage. We showed that it is not necessary to measure chloride concentration in upstream or downstream cell, but a simple chronoamperometry suffices to obtain transfer characteristics of the material tested.
