How the concrete cures and the accuracy of the tests is vital to the success of your project. By using a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Sacramento, CA, you can test to establish that your concrete: Won't develop crevices, also called crazing Has the correct durability Has the required water tightness Is impervious to wearing down Is resistant to shrinkage, which causes cracks Is not susceptible to freezing and thawing While the experts who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the Sacramento, CA lab the test is sent to will be responsible for a large portion of the accuracy of the testing, their work 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 temperature and humidity under which the samples were kept. For that reason, every Darwin Chambers portable concrete curing box has a control resolution of 1°F. Other aspects include: On job site protected storage of concrete test specimens and reliable heating Comes with comfort grip no-crush handles for easy transport Exterior controls and readings so you do not have to open the box The plate is thermally protected from overheating Digital controls Reading resolution: 0.5°F Control setpoint: 73°F Data retention: Yes Xtreme technology uses an insulated lid and extra insulation on the siding EZ-Clean top wipes clean and the lead-resistant channel drain makes it easy to empty any excess water without tilting the cooler Low CO2 insulation for reduced carbon emissions from foam manufacturing Produced in the USA Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Sacramento, CA ASTM and ACI have strict regulations for how concrete samples are taken and stored in a concrete curing box. To ensure compliance, you must take the following steps: 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 put in the slab, made up of at least two samples. The technician must record the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. You must carry out a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be kept in a concrete curing box where they are kept at a fixed temperature range between 60°F and 80°F. Once you have a concrete sample, you must maintain it in a concrete curing box until you can conduct in-field tests and send samples to a lab in Sacramento, CA to measure 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 cylinder can hold up against.
