Sorptivity is not the best test for durability. It is only part of a number of tests available for durability assessment. Project objectives and conditions would determine the suitable durability test in the service life assessment. For example, a chloride diffusion test would be more suitable for a marine project where chloride ingress protection is required.
Other durability testing methods include water permeability and accelerated chloride diffusion tests.
