Installs directly onto the rebar with no cumbersome wires or expensive data loggers. Temperature and strength readings are immediately sent to an intuitive mobile app.
Eliminate reliance on error-prone cylinder break tests. SmartRock estimates concrete maturity accurately based on the ASTM C1074.
Make critical, real-time decisions during concrete curing. Help crews hit project milestones faster, saving days or weeks off construction schedules.
| Type | Value |

| Measurement Accuracy | ± 1.8 °F (± 1°C) |
| Measurement Resolution | ± 0.18 °F (± 0.1°C) |
| Measurement Frequency | Once every 15 mins (for 2 months of data) |
| Wireless Signal Range | Up to 26 ft (8 m) |
| Temperature Cable Length | 16 in (40 cm) / 10 ft (3 m) |
| Battery Life | Up to 4 months after installation |
How long is the battery life?
The battery life is about 4 months under room temperature.
Do MTO and DOTs allow this method of concrete strength measurement?
The strength estimation according to the concrete maturity method as described in the ASTM C1074 has been specified by many DOTs in the US as well as the CSA. Here is the clause from CSA:
“4.4.6.4.5 In-place strength
4.4.6.4.5.1 Test procedures
Unless otherwise specified by the owner, the in-place strength shall be determined in accordance with CSA A23.2-14C, CSA A23.2-15C or ASTM C1074 for the purposes of determining:
(a) when forms shall be removed or when prestressing or post-tensioning shall be applied; (b) when curing shall be terminated; and (c) when re-shores shall be removed.”
What is the maximum depth I can place the SmartRock?
We recommend a maximum depth of 2 in (5 cm) to ensure that the signals from the sensor are strong enough. The signal strength weakens as you place the sensor deeper.
Can I get SmartRock with longer thermocouple cables?
Yes. Please ask for customized length when you are ordering your SmartRock package. You can get this cable as long as 10 ft.

Activate the sensor and tag each one in your SmartRock app by project and section.
Secure the sensor to the rebar in the formwork and pour concrete as usual.
Open the SmartRock app to view concrete strength and temperature data in real-time or remotely using SmartHub.
