Why You Need Concrete Curing Testing in Rochester, NY

  • Won't degrade and have fissures, technically known as crazing
  • Has the needed durability
  • Has the necessary water tightness
  • Is impervious to erosion
  • Is not susceptible to shrinkage, which causes cracks
  • Is resistant to freezing and thawing

In order to properly verify the above and have accurate tests, you 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 specifications include:

Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Rochester, NY

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 regulations, you must follow a certain procedure:

  • The procedure must be carried out 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 specimen.
  • The worker must run a slump test and an air test.
  • The cylinders must be stored in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated and are kept within 60°F and 80°F at all times.

After the slump and air tests, you must perform both in-field and laboratory tests in Rochester, NY to measure the concrete's compressive strength:

  • On-site 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 sample can withstand.
