concrete to ±: ✔️ 1 degree F [0.5 C], throughout a range of: ✔️ 30 degrees F to 120 F [0 C to 50 C].
3. The temperature measuring device shall be calibrated: ✔️ Annually, or whenever there is a question
of: ✔️ accuracy.
4. The temperature of concrete may be measured in a wheelbarrow. ✔️ True
5. The temperature of concrete may be measured in a wall form. ✔️ True
6. A composite sample of concrete is required even if the only purpose for obtaining the sample is to
determine temperature. ✔️ False
7. What must be done to the sample container prior to sampling the concrete? ✔️ Dampen (with
water)
8. What must be done to the concrete surrounding the temperature measuring device after the device is
submerged in the fresh concrete? ✔️ Gently press the concrete around the temperature measuring
device at the surface of the concrete.
9. How long must the temperature measuring device remain in the freshly mixed concrete? ✔️ At least
2 minutes but not more than 5 minutes.
10. After the temperature of the concrete is read, what is required? ✔️ Reporting of temperature.
