Hilti HCS wireless concrete sensors are leveraging the maturity methods in ASTM C1074 for the accurate estimation of the jobsite concrete strength.

The maturity method is a technique used to estimate the effects of time and temperature on concrete strength development. The maturity method is a non-destructive and reliable way of estimating in-situ concrete strength. It leads to better quality control, reduces both traditional testing costs and construction costs, and helps ensure safety. This paper shows the need for the maturity method as a standard practice for estimating concrete strength, the relevant ASTM codes applicable to it, and some recommendations as to the limitations of the method.
