The success of your project will partially be dependent on how the concrete cures and your ability to accurately test it. By using a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Charlotte, NC, you can test to check that your concrete: Won't degrade and have cracks, technically referred to as crazing Has the required durability Has the correct water tightness Is impervious to wearing down Has better volume stability Is not susceptible to freezing and thawing While the workers who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the Charlotte, NC lab the test is sent to will be accountable for a substantial percentage of the accuracy of the testing, their work will be for naught if the reliability of the sample is put at risk because the concrete was not stored correctly. You need to know the precisely the conditions the specimens were stored at. For that reason, we design and manufacture every concrete curing box to have a control resolution of 1°F. Other aspects include: On job site protected storage of concrete test specimens and reliable heating Comes with comfort grip no-crush handles for easy carrying Exterior controls and readings so you do not have to open the box The plate is thermally protected from overheating Digital controls Measuring resolution: 0.5°F Control setpoint: 73°F Data storage Xtreme technology uses an insulated lid and extra insulation in the walls 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 Charlotte, NC ASTM and ACI have stringent instructions for how to make samples and store them. To ensure you are adhering to regulations, you must follow a specific procedure: The procedure must be performed by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician. The concrete cylinder must be characteristic of the concrete poured on-site, made up of two different samples from the middle of the concrete load. The technician must note a precise reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the sample. You must carry out a slump test and an air test. The samples must be placed in a concrete curing box where they will not be disturbed and cannot exceed 80°F or go below 60°F. Once you have a concrete sample, you must keep it well-preserved in a concrete curing box until you can perform in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Charlotte, NC to measure the concrete's compressive strength: On-site 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: A compressive strength lab test will apply force to each end of the cylinder until it breaks to see how much pressure the specimen can withstand.
