Follow bed temperature in companion cylinders for release-strength evaluation. Connect SensyCast measurements, cylinder breaks and SensyHub records.
Three steps to evaluate match curing at your plant.
1. Measure the bedAgree on a representative concrete reference with QC.
2. Follow the temperatureReview cylinder temperature history and moisture retention.
3. Review the evidenceConnect the pour, temperature records and break results.

SensyCure controls the companion-cylinder environment. Keep the concrete protection and testing required by your quality plan.
Follow the bed’s temperature history to evaluate companion cylinders under representative curing conditions. Keep the acceptance tests required by the project.
Use a measured cylinder cure history to support the release review. Actual timing depends on concrete strength development and the plant’s approved criteria.
Automated temperature control and logging reduce manual recording steps. Review actual labor and testing costs when evaluating the plant trial.
Document temperature history and review the applicable curing procedure, compression tests, and release requirements with your QC lead.
Compare the cylinder temperature with the bed before interpreting a break. Match curing supports release evaluation; standard curing serves a different testing purpose.
SensyCure continuously reads the temperature of your actual concrete pour and adjusts the cure chamber to match, automatically and in real time.
SensyCast sensors read temperature inside the pour. SensyCure uses that reference to control companion-cylinder temperature. Review both histories alongside break results to evaluate how closely the cylinders followed the bed.
Day 2: 0.79°F average temperature gap and 5.4°F maximum gap from the bed.
An observed trial result, not a guaranteed tolerance.
On Day 2 of a two-day cold-weather trial with insulated wall panels, SensyCure recorded a 0.79°F average gap from the bed and a 5.4°F maximum gap. The legacy system averaged 6.8°F above the bed and reached a 27.4°F maximum gap. These are observations from that trial, not a guaranteed tolerance. The report describes probe placement and setup differences between the two days.
Review the applicable editions, procedures, and project requirements with your QC lead. These references help scope the technical review; they do not establish equipment certification or blanket DOT approval. Curing, compression testing, and maturity estimation are separate activities.
Confirm the required records and applicable references when configuring your SensyHub QC export.
Every curing cycle is logged to SensyHub with complete temperature history, maturity data, and compliance documentation, accessible from any device.
Size the system around your actual testing volume. Supported mold dimensions do not specify how many cylinders fit in a chamber.
Specify how many cylinders and cure profiles you need at once. Confirm capacity per chamber, mold sizes, temperature operating range, and sensor verification.
Review the SensyCast bed reference, workspace, power, Wi-Fi or cellular connection, and SensyHub access. Request the training, maintenance, and support scope.
Define how the bed, mix, cylinders, and cure history connect to break results. Review average and maximum gaps, moisture requirements, and the response to lost connectivity or power.
The NAPCO demonstration shows sensors in a Double-T and match-cured control cylinders in one verification workflow. See the setup and three break comparisons. Agree on the trial protocol and comparison records before evaluating your plant.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Match curing adjusts companion-cylinder temperature to follow the concrete’s thermal history on the bed. This supports release-strength evaluation. Representativeness also depends on reference placement, specimen preparation, moisture, and cylinder testing.
Companion cylinders can experience a different temperature history from the bed during cold weather. SensyCure adjusts their curing environment to follow the measured bed reference. It supports release-strength evaluation; it does not heat or protect the production bed.
Confirm reference placement, cylinder count, mold sizes, operating range, power, connectivity, moisture retention, temperature checks and the QC-approved break schedule. Agree on training, support and the records used to evaluate the trial.
Review the curing procedure, cylinder preparation and testing, temperature verification, and project criteria. ASTM references describe methods and procedures; they are not automatic equipment certification or release approval.
SensyCure automatically logs all temperature and curing data to the SensyHub cloud platform. Engineers and QC teams can monitor curing progress remotely, receive alerts, and export compliance reports from any device.
Standard-cured cylinders are prepared and cured under prescribed conditions for their testing purpose. Match-cured cylinders follow the bed’s thermal history for release evaluation. Keep the project’s required acceptance tests; a matched temperature history does not replace them by itself.
SensyCast provides temperature and calibrated maturity estimates; SensyCure provides the companion-cylinder cure history to compare with break results. The QC lead reviews this evidence against approved criteria before authorizing detensioning. See the NAPCO example.
Yes. Every cure cycle auto-logs into the SensyHub QC Module and ties to the pour record. Records surface in the right certification mode (PCI MNL-116, MNL-117, NPCA QCM-001, or state DOT). When an auditor arrives, the cure history is already in the audit packet. No manual assembly the week before the inspection.
