A range of possible techniques for assessing the "free" chloride ion content of hydrated cement pastes dosed with sodium chloride or calcium chloride have been investigated. The techniques are based on mixing powdered samples with a solvent and measuring the amount of chloride passing into solution.

The free chloride in concrete is a factor in the corrosion of embedded steel while bound chloride is not. Various procedures for the recovery and determination of free chloride in concrete have been examined. The methods involved hot and cold water extractions with results dependent upon the subdivi
The free chloride content in cement pastes may be assessed by analysing the pore solution expressed under pressure using a pore press, or achieving an equilibrium between a known external solution and the pore solution, while the total chloride content is commonly determined using acid soluble extra
