Benefits of Concrete Curing Testing in Tampa, FL

According to a guidelines set out by 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 is vital to the success of your project. By using a Darwin Chambers concrete curing box in Tampa, FL, you can test to verify that your concrete:

  • Won't fall victim to fissures, technically called crazing
  • Has the appropriate durability
  • Has the required water tightness
  • Is resistant to abrasion
  • Is impervious to shrinkage, which causes cracks
  • Is not susceptible to freezing and thawing

While the workers who prepare the concrete test cylinders and the Tampa, FL lab the test is sent to will be accountable for a large portion of the accuracy of the testing, their reports will be for naught if the reliability of the sample is put at risk because the concrete was kept at a temperature and humidity that did not adhere to regulations. You need to know the exact conditions under which the specimens were kept. That's why every Darwin Chambers portable concrete curing box has a control resolution of 1°F. Other specifications include:

  • In-field protected storage of concrete test specimens and dependable 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 storage
  • 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
  • Manufactured in the USA

Correct Procedures for Concrete Curing Samples in the Field in Tampa, FL

ASTM and ACI have stringent instructions for how to make samples and what humidity and temperature to store them at. To ensure compliance, you must follow a specific procedure:

  • The procedure must be conducted by an ACI-Certified Grade 1 Concrete Field Technician.
  • 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 sample.
  • The technician must perform a slump test and an air test.
  • The specimens must be stored in a concrete curing box where they are kept at a fixed temperature range between 60°F and 80°F.

In addition to the slump and air tests, you must conduct both on-site and laboratory tests in Tampa, FL to take a reading of 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 concrete can withstand.
