Accelerated Curing Tank (Product Code: SLE/CE/10) is an insulated, temperature-controlled curing tank used for hot water or steam curing of concrete cubes in accelerated strength testing, in civil engineering and concrete quality-control laboratories. It holds 150 mm or 70.6 mm cube moulds on two removable racks, from 6/12 up to 36/72 moulds by model, and controls curing at 35 °C or 100 °C ± 2 °C for concrete or 27 °C ± 2 °C for grey cement. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Waiting weeks for normally cured cubes slows down mix approval and site decisions. Accelerated curing shortens that wait: freshly cast cubes, still in their moulds, are placed on the racks in hot water or steam at a controlled temperature, and after the 24 hour cycle from mixing they are tested so that the concrete's later strength can be judged much sooner.
The electronic programmer stores up to four cycles with their own heating gradients and curing times, and the thermal printer records each run for the lab file. With the refrigeration system the same tank can hold grey cement specimens at 27 °C. Keep the racks loosely loaded so water circulates around every mould, and drain and clean the stainless steel interior regularly.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this accelerated curing tank. The tank is fabricated and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and delivered factory-direct to engineering colleges, ready-mix and precast plants' laboratories, dealers and importers.
Since you deal with the maker, questions on sizing, replacement racks, heaters or pumps and repeat orders are answered by the team that builds the tank — ask us. More about the company is on the ScienceLab company profile.

How many cube moulds does the Accelerated Curing Tank hold?
The Accelerated Curing Tank is made in four capacities: 6/12, 12/24, 24/48 and 36/72 moulds, where the first figure is for 150 mm cube moulds and the second for 70.6 mm moulds. The largest model cures up to 36 or 72 moulds in one go.
What curing temperatures can the tank hold?
The Accelerated Curing Tank controls concrete curing at 35 °C or 100 °C ± 2 °C and grey cement curing at 27 °C ± 2 °C. The set temperature is maintained throughout the cycle except for the 15 minutes after fresh specimens are immersed.
Can the Accelerated Curing Tank be used for grey cement?
Yes. Besides the immersion heater used for concrete, the Accelerated Curing Tank has a refrigeration system that holds grey cement specimens at 27 °C ± 2 °C, so one tank covers both duties.
What does the electronic programmer do?
The programmer on the Accelerated Curing Tank controls up to four test cycles, each with its own thermal gradient and curing time to a defined temperature, running the curing cycle automatically. A 28 column thermal printer on the control panel prints the record.
Who manufactures the Accelerated Curing Tank?
The Accelerated Curing Tank is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers.
How is the tank built?
The Accelerated Curing Tank has a stainless steel interior, full insulation and a hinged lid, with heater, thermostat and re-circulating pump. The pump, drain valves and electrical equipment sit in a compartment at one end, and two removable racks let water flow around each mould.
