Advantages to Concrete Curing Testing in Seattle, WA

According to a report from ACI Committee 308, curing is "the process by which hydraulic-cement concrete matures and develops hardened properties over time." How the concrete cures and the accuracy of the tests will go a long way in the success of your project. By using a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Seattle, WA, you can test to make sure that your concrete:

  • Won't develop fissures, technically referred to as crazing
  • Has the needed durability
  • Has the required water tightness
  • Is impervious to abrasion
  • Is resistant 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 temperature and humidity 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 aspects include:

  • On job site protected storage of concrete test specimens and reliable heating
  • Comes with comfort grip no-crush handles for easy carrying
  • Exterior controls and readings so the box can remain closed
  • The plate is thermally protected from overheating
  • Digital temperature controller
  • Measuring resolution: 0.5°F
  • Control setpoint: 73°F
  • Ability to preserve data
  • Xtreme technology uses an insulated lid and extra insulation in the walls
  • 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
  • Made in the United States

Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Seattle, WA

ASTM and ACI have strict instructions for how to produce samples and what humidity and temperature to store them at. 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 a "representative sample," made up of the same concrete as it was poured.
  • The technician must note an accurate reading of the temperature of the ambient air and the concrete.
  • The technician must conduct a slump test and an air test.
  • The samples must be kept in a concrete curing box where they will not be perturbed and never go below 60°F or above 80°F.

After the slump and air tests, you must conduct both in-field and laboratory tests in Seattle, WA to measure the concrete's compressive strength:

  • On-site Test: A Schmidt hammer fires a spring-loaded mass at the concrete in order to measure the value of the rebound.
  • 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 specimen can hold up against.
