Best Practice Guidelines for Compressive Strength Testing ...
Concrete must be cured at a temperature of 1923 o C in a saturated condition until testing for compressive strength at 7 or 28 days. Test cylinders should be tested in the saturated surface dry condition and should not be allowed to dry out excessively. Typically test cylinders are tested within two hours of being taken out of the curing tank unless plaster capping is applied.
