You need to be sure that your concrete is curing properly for the best outcome in your project.

You need to know the precisely the temperature and humidity the samples were stored at. That's why every Darwin Chambers portable concrete curing box has a control resolution of 1°F.

To ensure you are complying with guidelines, 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 a precise reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. You must perform a slump test and an air test. The specimens must be stored in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated and cannot exceed 80°F or go below 60°F. Once you have a concrete cylinder, you must maintain it in a concrete curing box until you can carry out in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Pittsburgh, PA to take a reading of 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 concrete can hold up against.
