Concrete Specimen Curing Tank (TI Series - IS 516 / ASTM C31)
Concrete Specimen Curing Tank (IS 516 / ASTM C31)
The Tempo Instruments Concrete Specimen Curing Tank is engineered specifically for standard and accelerated water curing of concrete cubes, cylinders, mortar specimens, and beams in full compliance with IS 516, ASTM C31, ASTM C192, and EN 12390-2. Featuring heavy-gauge stainless steel construction, CFC-free thermal insulation, microprocessor PID temperature control, and motorized water agitation for total temperature uniformity.
Testing Accessories & Calibration Packages
Add mandatory calibration certificates and water management accessories for compliance audits.
NABL 5-Point Temperature Calibration Certificate
Official multi-point temperature uniformity certificate traceable to ISO/IEC 17025 national standards.
Auto Water Level Sensor & Solenoid Inlet
Electronic water level controller with automated inlet valve to maintain submerged specimen depth continuously.
Cooling Refrigeration Chiller Module
External chilling unit attachment for maintaining precise 20°C water curing standard during high ambient summer conditions.
Standardized Concrete Specimen Curing Architecture
TEMPO Instruments Concrete Curing Tanks are specifically built to satisfy the stringent thermal and hydraulic stability conditions mandated by global standards including IS 516, ASTM C31 / C192, and EN 12390-2 for compressive strength testing of cementitious specimens.

Key Testing Applications
- • Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) Plants: Daily 7, 14 & 28-day concrete cube strength evaluation
- • Civil Infrastructure Projects: Bridge, highway & high-rise site lab testing
- • Cement Manufacturing Labs: Mortar cube compressive strength quality control
- • Third-Party NABL Labs: Accredited specimen curing compliance
Hydraulic & Thermal Insulation Engineering
Constructed with heavy double-walled modular casing containing high-grade thermal insulation. Heat is delivered via heavy-duty stainless steel immersion heating elements, while a continuous motorized water stirrer guarantees thermal equilibrium across all submerged specimen baskets.

Concrete Specimen Curing Tank Walkthrough
Frequently Asked Questions & Audit Compliance
The tank is equipped with an integrated continuous motorized water agitator/recirculation pump that circulates water through multi-directional ports around the submerged rack trays/baskets, ensuring temperature uniformity within $\pm 0.5^\circ\text{C}$ throughout the tank volume.
Yes! The Accelerated Curing Tank model is specially rated up to $100^\circ\text{C}$ with reinforced immersion heaters and auto steam vent lids for warm water ($55^\circ\text{C}$) and boiling water ($100^\circ\text{C}$) accelerated strength testing protocols.
For locations where room ambient temperature exceeds $30^\circ\text{C}$–$40^\circ\text{C}$, we recommend adding the optional external refrigeration chiller module to ensure the water temperature does not exceed the mandatory $27^\circ\text{C} \pm 2^\circ\text{C}$ limit prescribed by IS 516.
