To make sure you are complying with regulations, you must follow a specific procedure: 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 two different samples from the middle of the concrete load. The technician must record the temperature of the ambient air and the specimen. The technician must perform a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be placed in a concrete curing box where they will not be disturbed and cannot exceed 80°F or go below 60°F. In addition to the slump and air tests, you must carry out in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Raleigh, NC to take a reading of the concrete's compressive strength: In-Field Test: A small device, known as a Schmidt hammer, fires a spring-loaded mass with a defined energy against the surface and reads how elastic or strong the concrete is. 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.
