ACCELERATED CURING TANK-INNER S.S.-FOR 36 CUBES OF 150MM-

ACCELERATED CURING TANK-36 CUBES-IS 9013

Model Number : VIPL-042-36

Curing is a critical step in concrete production that ensures the hydration process proceeds optimally, leading to strength development and durability. Curing ensures continuous hydration of cement, which is essential for the development of the designed strength of the concrete. Improper curing can lead to incomplete hydration, reducing compressive strength. Accelerated curing is aimed at estimating the 28-day compressive strength within 24 hours. The ACT is suitable for Boiling water method and warm water method. IS 9013's accelerated methods are advantageous for early strength estimation but should be complemented with standard curing to assess long-term properties.

Techincal Specification

Accelerated Curing Tank having capacity to accommodate 36 Nos. of concrete cube moulds of 15cm, with a facility for accelerated curing by boiling water method up to temperature range : 100 +/‑ 2°C as per IS standard IS : 9013. Also it will have capacity for curing by warm water method at temperature 55 +/‑ 2°C. The whole body of cube mould with the sample of concrete inside is to be immersed in the tank and the Tank is stout enough toil bear heavy load on its platform.

Tank will consist of a rectangular double walled metal cabinet, inner chamber made of thick gauge stainless steel. Outer chamber made of Galvanized sheet ‑ powder coated. Specially designed L shaped High wattage heaters will be mounted in the chamber in such a way that, it facilitates easy replacement within 5 minutes by normal skilled person. It will have facility to circulate water inside the chamber by stirrer to maintain the uniform temperature of water. Inside the chamber there will be a heavy gauge stainless steel perforated platform with ribs to withstand the heavy load of the cubes. It will also have a lid with lifting handle to cover the chamber.

The front panel will have power supply indicating lamp and one main switch suitable for operation on 230 V, 50 Hz single phase, AC supply. It will also have a DIGITAL Auto tuning PID temperature indicator cum controller fitted on the front panel.

Curing Tank / Conditioning chamber as per ASTM C192,BS 1881 Part 111,EN 12390-2,ACI 308R also available.
