Overview

General information about the product

Optimal Conditioning for Concrete Samples

The Curing Tank is equipped with a thermostat-controlled heater, allowing precise temperature adjustments between ambient temperature and 40 °C, with an accuracy of ± 2 °C. The temperature regulation is managed by a digital thermoregulator, ensuring that the desired conditions are maintained throughout the curing process. This level of temperature control is essential for the proper hydration and hardening of concrete specimens.

The Thermostat-Controlled Heater comes with a Metal Base Grate and a Submersible Circulation Pump to ensure even water temperature distribution throughout the tank. A Cooling Unit is also available upon request; it must be factory installed and ordered separately to provide temperature control in environments where cooling is necessary.

Temperature Control and Heater Features

The heater unit is portable, meaning it can be positioned inside the curing tank according to user preference, providing flexibility and convenience during use. The curing tank itself is constructed from powder-coated steel sheet, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental elements.

The Curing Tank is supplied with the following components:

  • Heater: Thermostat-controlled for consistent temperature maintenance
  • Circulation Pump: Ensures uniform water temperature throughout the tank.
  • Metal Base Grating: Provides support for concrete specimens without any distortion.

A top grid for holding concrete samples above the water before the compressive strength test can be ordered separately, with a capacity of up to 8 pieces.

The curing tank is available in various sizes, accommodating different capacities and specimen quantities. These tanks are ideal for use in site laboratories, providing a robust metal internal base to hold concrete specimens securely and without distortions

Curing Tanks are crucial for maintaining the required conditions for concrete curing, ensuring that concrete specimens reach their intended strength and durability. With precise temperature control, robust construction, and flexibility in accessories, these tanks are an ideal solution for both site and laboratory use, supporting consistent and high-quality concrete testing.
