Advantages to Concrete Curing Testing in Dallas, TX

Based on a report from ACI Committee 308, curing refers to "the process by which hydraulic-cement concrete matures and develops hardened properties over time." You need to know that your concrete is curing properly for the best results in your project. By storing your samples in a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Dallas, TX, you can test to make sure that your concrete:

  • Won't degrade and have fissures, also referred to as crazing
  • Has the required durability
  • Has the required water tightness
  • Is not susceptible to abrasion
  • Has better volume stability
  • Is resistant to freezing and thawing

While the technicians who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the Dallas, TX lab the test is sent to will be responsible for a considerable part of the accuracy of the testing, their work will not have any value if the reliability of the sample is endangered because the concrete was not stored correctly. You need to know the precisely the temperature and humidity the specimens were stored at. That's why every Darwin Chambers portable concrete curing box has a control resolution of 1°F. Other aspects include:

  • On job site protected storage of concrete test specimens and dependable heating
  • Comes with comfort grip no-crush handles for easy transport
  • Exterior controls and readings so you do not have to open the box
  • No overheating

  • Ability to preserve data
  • Xtreme technology uses an insulated lid and extra insulation on the siding
  • EZ-Clean top wipes clean and the lead-resistant channel drain makes it easy to empty any excess water without tilting the cooler
  • Low CO2 insulation for reduced carbon emissions from foam manufacturing
  • Produced in the United States

How to Take Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Dallas, TX

ASTM and ACI have stringent instructions for how concrete samples are taken and stored in a concrete curing box. To make sure you are following guidelines, you must take the following steps:

  • The procedure must be performed by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician.
  • The concrete cylinder must be characteristic of the concrete put in the slab, made up of the same concrete as it was poured.
  • The technician must make not of the temperature of the ambient air and the sample.
  • You must run a slump test and an air test.
  • The specimens must be stored in a concrete curing box where they will not be perturbed and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times.

In addition to the slump and air tests, you must carry out both in-field and laboratory tests in Dallas, TX to test the concrete's compressive strength:

  • In-Field Test: A small device, known as a Schmidt hammer, measures the rebound of a spring-loaded mass that is shot against the surface of the concrete.
  • Laboratory Test: In a lab, the concrete will be placed in a machine that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the concrete until it cracks or breaks.
