Benefits of Concrete Curing Testing in Dallas, TX

According to a a definition offered by ACI Committee 308, curing is "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 storing your samples in a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Dallas, TX, you can test to check that your concrete:

  • Won't have cracks, technically referred to as crazing
  • Has the required strength
  • Has the correct water tightness
  • Is impervious to wearing down
  • Has better volume stability
  • Is resistant to freezing and thawing

In order to properly verify the above and have accurate readings, you You need to know the precisely the conditions the samples were stored at. For that reason, 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
  • No need to open to see temperature reading or set point of thermostat
  • The plate is thermally protected from overheating
  • Digital temperature controller
  • Measuring resolution: 0.5°F
  • Control setpoint: 73°F
  • Ability to retain 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
  • Manufactured in the United States

Correct Procedures for 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 ensure you are complying with guidelines, you must take the following steps:

  • The concrete must be made, cured, and tested by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician.
  • The concrete cylinder must be representative of the concrete poured on-site, made up of the same concrete as it was poured.
  • The technician must take a precise reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the sample.
  • The worker must carry out a slump test and an air test.
  • The cylinders must be placed in a concrete curing box where they will not be perturbed and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times.

Once you have a concrete cylinder, you must maintain it in a concrete curing box until you can perform both on-site and laboratory tests in Dallas, TX 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: A compressive strength lab test will apply force to each end of the cylinder until it breaks to see how much pressure the concrete can hold up against.
