The concrete cylinder must be a "representative sample," made up of at least two samples. The technician must make not of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete. You must run a slump test and an air test. The cylinders must be kept in a concrete curing box where they will not be agitated and never go below 60°F or above 80°F. In addition to the slump and air tests, you must conduct in-field tests and send samples to a lab in San Antonio, TX 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 withstand.
