Case Study
The temperature inside the concrete was sampled and recorded
once every 10 minutes for a period of 72 hours. There were sensors
placed inside each of the three sections of the slab, corresponding
to the three variables: Powerblanket® heated, Powerblanket not
heated, and standard blanket. Another sensor was placed inside
a test cylinder and yet another measured ambient temperature at
the jobsite.
The variables for this test were the three sections of concrete, each
covered with a dierent type of curing regimen. Section A featured
a Powerblanket curing blanket with the heat turned ON. Section
B used a Powerblanket curing blanket with the heat turned OFF.
Section C used a standard curing blanket.
