TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON A NEW ACCELERATED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST METHOD FOR CEMENT AND FRESH MIXED CONCRETE
Reduces the time to wait for important test results from days to just minutes
The challenges we face
Our Concept – An early warning of quality, practical, fast and cost effective solution for an accelerated testing of cementitious construction building materials.
Within the construction industry, Portland cement and concrete manufacturers and end users, have historically experienced long delays in finding out the strength of cementitious products by using the traditional crush test procedure which takes 28 days for the end result.
Cement prisms or concrete cubes samples need to be taken on site, cured in a temperature-controlled environment, and tested under the compression press; this is an expensive and a time-consuming process before the end results are known.
As concrete hardens in approximately one hour, this forces the end users have to pour practically untested concrete and rely solely on the quality control of the producer or suppliers.
Our concept will provide an early warning solution for manufacturers and their customers to ensure that the quality of the cementitious products are within their requirements.
