    2. Recommendations on equipment

    All of the equipment needed for maturity measurement is generally referred to as a "maturity meter." Current maturometers incorporate measurement functions (see previous article [C 2 278] ), data acquisition, calculation, and result visualization, in particular by directly providing the strength of the concrete in situ, which can be used by anyone on the construction site. They must have the necessary characteristics (ruggedness, robustness, watertightness, autonomy) to be used in construction site conditions.

    The quality of the equipment is a necessary but not sufficient condition for performing a correct maturometry operation. The determination of certain parameters is essential for the proper use of maturometry. All concrete intended to be monitored by maturometry must be "calibrated":...
