About Curing Tank
Curing Tank
a) 24 Hour cycle from time of mixing.
b) Controlled 35oC or 100oC ±2oC Curing Temperature for concrete.
c) Controlled 27oC ± 2oC Curing Temperature for grey cement.
The tank has been designed to accommodate 150mm/70.6mm cube mould up to 36/72 cube mould and fully insulated, complete with a hinged lid, heater, thermostat and re-circulated pump. Provision of two removable racks allowing free circulation of water around each mould. The pump, drain valves and electrical equipment are housed in a compartment located at one end of the tank. The Tank is heated by a immersion heater under normal conditions and refrigeration system for grey cement the temperature is controlled at 35 Degree celsius or 100 Degree celsius ± 2 Degree celsius / 27 Degree celsius +2 Degree celsius , expect for the 15 minutes after immersion of the freshly made specimens. Superior Temperature Control for Precise Concrete CuringThe curing tank is equipped with a digital PID controller, enabling accurate temperature regulation from 5C to 60C with 1C precision. The inbuilt recirculating pump distributes water uniformly, eliminating hot or cold spots. Polyurethane foam insulation and a stainless steel hinged lid minimize heat loss, delivering consistent curing conditions essential for reliable test results in laboratory environments.
Robust Design and Easy MobilityConstructed with a corrosion-resistant powder-coated exterior and a durable stainless steel inner chamber, the CT-100 is built for longevity. Heavy-duty castor wheels facilitate effortless movement within laboratory spaces, while its compact, rectangular design fits seamlessly into standard setups. The removable sample baskets make sample handling and cleaning efficient and convenient.
FAQs of Curing Tank:
Q: How does the CT-100 curing tank maintain uniform water temperature during operation?
A: The CT-100 features an inbuilt recirculating pump that continuously circulates water throughout the tank, ensuring uniform temperature distribution. Additionally, a high-quality digital PID controller precisely maintains the set temperature, providing reliable curing conditions for concrete samples.
Q: What safety features are included in the curing tank for laboratory use?
A: Safety is prioritized with an over temperature cut-off mechanism and a low water level alarm. These features automatically prevent overheating and alert users when water levels are insufficient, reducing risks during extended unattended operation.
Q: When is it recommended to use this curing tank in the concrete testing process?
A: The curing tank should be used immediately after concrete cube or cylinder casting, during the mandated curing period as specified by relevant standards (IS: 516/1959, ASTM C192/C192M-19). It provides a controlled environment essential for accurate strength assessment of concrete samples.
Q: Where can the CT-100 curing tank be installed and used?
A: Designed for indoor laboratory environments, the CT-100s heavy-duty castor wheels make it easy to move and position within research, quality control, or educational lab spaces. Professional onsite installation and training are available to ensure correct setup and operation.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the CT-100 compared to traditional curing methods?
A: The CT-100 offers precise digital temperature control, automatic water circulation, and robust safety features, which together lead to uniform curing, improved test accuracy, reduced manual intervention, and easier maintenance. Its design enhances laboratory efficiency and sample consistency.
Q: How can users manage and retrieve samples from the tank?
A: Samples are placed in two to eight removable baskets, depending on the models capacity. These baskets simplify sample loading, retrieval, and facilitate cleaning, making routine lab operations faster and more efficient.
