Concrete Testing Equipment

The durability and safety of every structure depend on a solid concrete foundation. Testing concrete mix design, strength and performance is critical to ensure the reliability of the material. To make it happen, you need at least these concrete testing equipment essentials.

At the construction site during the pouring process, technicians conduct field testing by sampling fresh concrete. At the lab, typically on days 3, 7 and 28, technicians will test concrete cylinders for strength. From the field to the lab and in between, there are many different categories of concrete testing equipment you will need:

• Fresh concrete testing equipment: used to measure slump, air, unit weight and temperature of fresh concrete.
• Concrete molds: used to create concrete specimens for various tests.
• Concrete curing equipment: used to control proper conditions for concrete curing.
• Strength testing equipment: machines and accessories required for lab testing.
• Non-destructive testing equipment: used to assess concrete quality without damaging it.
• Core drilling and sawing: used to extract cylindrical cores from concrete structures for further testing.
