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 New Orleans, LA, you can test to check that your concrete: Won't degrade and have fissures, also referred to as crazing Has the required durability Has the appropriate water tightness Is impervious to erosion Is not susceptible to shrinkage, which causes cracks Is resistant to freezing and thawing While the experts who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the New Orleans, LA lab the test is sent to will be accountable for a considerable portion of the accuracy of the testing, their readings will not be accurate if the reliability of the sample is put at risk because of a poor concrete curing box. You need to know the exact conditions under which the specimens were kept. For that reason, we design and manufacture every concrete curing box to have a control resolution of 1°F. Other features are: In-field protected storage of concrete test specimens and dependable heating Comes with comfort grip no-crush handles for easy carrying Exterior controls and readings so the box can remain closed 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 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 Eco-friendly manufacturing through reduced carbon emissions Produced in the USA Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in New Orleans, LA ASTM and ACI have strict instructions for how concrete samples are taken and stored in a concrete curing box. To ensure compliance, you must follow a certain procedure: The concrete must be made, cured, and tested 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 note an accurate reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the sample. You must perform a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be kept in a concrete curing box where they will not be disturbed and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times. In addition to the slump and air tests, you must perform in-field tests and send samples to a lab in New Orleans, LA to measure 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: A compressive strength lab test will apply force to each end of the cylinder until it breaks to see how much pressure the cylinder can hold up against.
