To ensure you are complying with 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 a "representative sample," made up of the same concrete as it was poured. The technician must take an accurate reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. The worker must carry out a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be kept in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated 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 conduct in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Kansas City, MO to measure the concrete's compressive strength: In-Field 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 sample can hold up against.
