Frequently Asked Questions

How do Sensytec sensors support concrete materials R&D?

Sensytec sensors capture both temperature and electrical resistivity continuously, giving researchers a richer dataset than temperature-only tools. Resistivity tracks pore-structure development and hydration progress, valuable for studying admixtures, supplementary cementitious materials, and sustainability-focused mixes.

Can sensors track curing in 3D-printed concrete?

Yes. 3D-printed concrete has unique cure profiles because each layer's thermal mass is small and the geometry is complex. SensyCast probes embedded between layers monitor temperature gradients and resistivity to validate strength development at any depth.

Do sensors work for accelerated curing studies?

Yes. SensyCure pairs an in-place sensor with a controlled curing chamber to subject test cylinders to programmed temperature profiles. Useful for accelerated aging, hot-weather simulation, or evaluating new cement chemistries against established baselines.

How is electrical resistivity measured by SensyCast?

SensyCast uses a four-electrode resistivity sensor embedded in the concrete that measures bulk resistivity per ASTM C1876. The reading correlates to chloride permeability, hydration progress, and durability indicators commonly used in DOT and academic research.

Can the SensyHub platform export raw data for analysis?

Yes. Every reading from every sensor is exportable as CSV with timestamps, temperature, resistivity, calculated maturity, and estimated strength. Supports custom analysis in Python, R, MATLAB, or Excel.

Are Sensytec sensors used in academic research?

Yes. Sensytec partners with universities and admixture suppliers on materials research projects. Sensors have been deployed for sustainability studies, low-carbon concrete validation, sealant and waterproofing R&D, and prototype mix development.
