Concrete Maturity meter is a device inserted in concrete structure while casting, to monitor the concrete maturity and strength of the actual concrete by measuring temperature variations within the concrete, the device calculates the maturity value to develop a co-relation between maturity and strength, enabling real-time strength monitoring of both precast and cast-in-place concrete and also useful for determining the correct time for foamwork or shuttering removal and to decide when to stretch the tendons in PT Slabs.
Vedantrik Technologies has developed India’s first Wireless type Concrete Maturity meter and installed it in India’s first bullet train Project at BKC.
Concrete Maturity meter is available in various models like wireless and wired type, Sacrificial and Reusable type concrete maturity meter where only the sensor will be sacrificed and the transmitter part can be reused as per the different different application, concrete maturity meter for Concrete Road and infrastructure Projects, residential project and mass concrete temperature monitoring, temperature differential and for thermal gradient monitoring is also available.
The temperature sensors are embedded into the concrete at the construction site to measure temperature continuously. The maturity value is then calculated based on the recorded temperature data and correlated with the concrete strength. This correlation must be established for the specific concrete mix design As per ASTM C1074 standards and remains valid as long as the mix design does not change.
