Benefits of Concrete Curing Testing in Cincinnati, OH

Based on a a definition offered by ACI Committee 308, curing refers to "the process by which hydraulic-cement concrete matures and develops hardened properties over time." 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 Cincinnati, OH, you can test to verify that your concrete:

  • Won't develop crevices, also known as crazing
  • Has the appropriate strength
  • Has the appropriate water tightness
  • Is impervious to wearing down
  • Is impervious to shrinkage, which causes cracks
  • Is resistant to freezing and thawing

While the people who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the Cincinnati, OH lab the test is sent to will be responsible for a large portion of the accuracy of the testing, their reports will be for naught if the reliability of the sample is endangered because the concrete was not stored correctly. You need to know the exact temperature and humidity under which the samples were kept. That's why we design and manufacture every concrete curing box to have a control resolution of 1°F. Other aspects are:

  • 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 the box can remain closed
  • No overheating
  • Digital controls
  • Reading resolution: 0.5°F
  • Control setpoint: 73°F
  • Ability to preserve data
  • 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
  • Made in the USA

Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Cincinnati, OH

ASTM and ACI have stringent instructions for how to make samples and what humidity and temperature to store them at. To ensure compliance, 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 a "representative sample," made up of at least two samples.
  • The technician must make not of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete.
  • The technician must conduct a slump test and an air test.
  • The samples must be placed in a concrete curing box where they will not be disturbed and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times.

After the slump and air tests, you must conduct both in-field and laboratory tests in Cincinnati, OH to take a reading of the concrete's compressive strength:

  • On-site Test: A Schmidt hammer fires a spring-loaded mass at the concrete in order to measure the value of the rebound.
  • Laboratory Test: In a lab, the concrete will be placed in a device that places increasing amounts of pressure on each end of the cylinder until it cracks or breaks.
