Lightweight Perfa-Cure Concrete Curing Box (165qt. Heat Only) maintains the required initial curing temperatures of 60°–80°F (16°–27°C) and provide portable storage and protection for concrete test specimens. Users simply plug in the unit and set the thermostat to the desired temperature. Models comply with current ASTM C31 and AASHTO T 23 standards for the initial curing of concrete test specimens in the field.
The durable hard-sided insulated curing box has tie-down slots for secure transport, and the rubber lid gasket keeps internal temperatures stable. The Heater Panel on the inner lid and cooling units are easily replaceable. A max-min registering thermometer mounted inside the box monitors temperature conditions. The heating panel uses a safe aluminum base to radiate heat.
Perfa-Cure boxes operate on 110V, 60Hz electrical supply. Capacity specifications are based on cylinders using flat plastic lids. Need heat and AC for your concrete curing? We recommend the Concrete Curing Box (165qt. Heat/AC)
The V004.ACM-CURE ELITE Concrete Curing Box (165qt. Heat Only), sold by Certified MTP, represents a significant advancement in the field of concrete testing and maintenance, particularly for hydraulic cement concrete. This comprehensive overview will explore its features, applications, and how it caters to various regions in the United States, including Long Island, NY; New Orleans, LA; Charlotte, NC; Las Vegas, NV; Madison, WI; and New York, NY.
**Key Features:**
1. **Capacity and Size:** The V004.ACM-CURE ELITE Concrete Curing Box has a substantial capacity of 165 quarts, making it suitable for large-scale projects and accommodating multiple concrete test cylinders simultaneously.
2. **Heat Only Functionality:** Unlike some models that offer both heating and cooling functionality, this concrete curing box is designed specifically for heating. This feature is particularly advantageous in environments where maintaining the temperature of hydraulic cement concrete above a certain threshold is crucial for accurate curing and testing.
3. **Construction and Insulation:** The walls of the box are robustly constructed, providing excellent insulation. This design ensures minimal thermal loss and consistent temperature maintenance, crucial for the proper maturation of hydraulic cement concrete.
4. **Application in Diverse Climates:** The box's heating capability makes it particularly suitable for colder regions such as Long Island, NY, and Madison, WI. In these areas, maintaining the required temperature for concrete test cylinders can be challenging due to colder ambient temperatures.
5. **Hydraulic Cement Concrete Maturation:** The V004.ACM-CURE ELITE is designed to aid in the maturation process of hydraulic cement concrete, ensuring that it develops the necessary strength and durability characteristics. This process is critical for infrastructure projects in urban centers like New York, NY, and Charlotte, NC.
6. **Concrete Test Cylinders:** The box's size and controlled environment make it ideal for storing and curing concrete test cylinders. These cylinders are essential for testing the concrete's strength and compliance with industry standards, a critical factor in construction projects across cities like New Orleans, LA, and Las Vegas, NV.
**Regional Applications:**
- **Long Island, NY and New York, NY:** In these bustling urban environments, where construction projects are continuous, the V004.ACM-CURE ELITE provides a reliable solution for curing concrete test cylinders, ensuring compliance with strict building codes.
- **New Orleans, LA and Charlotte, NC:** These areas, known for their dynamic weather patterns, benefit from the curing box's ability to maintain a consistent temperature, crucial for the integrity of hydraulic cement concrete used in construction.
- **Las Vegas, NV:** Despite its predominantly hot climate, there are periods when temperatures drop significantly. The V004.ACM-CURE ELITE ensures that concrete test cylinders are cured at optimal temperatures year-round.
- **Madison, WI:** In this region, known for its cold winters, the heating functionality of the concrete curing box is indispensable for maintaining the necessary temperature for concrete curing.
In conclusion, the V004.ACM-CURE ELITE Concrete Curing Box from Certified MTP is a vital tool for professionals in the construction industry, especially for those working with hydraulic cement concrete. Its specific design for heating, coupled with its large capacity and robust construction, makes it an ideal choice for various climatic conditions across the United States. Whether it's for major urban construction in New York or infrastructure projects in New Orleans, this concrete curing box stands out as a reliable, essential piece of equipment.
