Concrete / Grout / Mortar - Specimen Settings

Table of Contents

Purpose

The Specimen Settings section is used to store information about default test age, field cure and hold values for each sample type / specimen size.

Specimen Settings

Field	Description
Sample Type	Sample type of the specimen
Specimen Size	Specimen size of the specimen Configure your Specimen Sizes Here.
Default Test Age	Test age of the specimen
Default Field Cure	Indicates if the specimen should be cured in the field
Default Hold	Indicates if the specimen should be held in the lab

For example, if you needed to define a default set of cylinders that you typically pour to be broken at 7, 14 and 28 days with one of the 28 day cylinders held in the lab as a backup, your Specimen Settings grid would contain the following data...

Sample Type	Specimen Size	Default Test Age	Default Field Cure	Default Hold
Cast Cylinder	4" X 8"	7	No	No
Cast Cylinder	4" X 8"	14	No	No
Cast Cylinder	4" X 8"	28	No	No
Cast Cylinder	4" X 8"	28	No	Yes

Defaults can be changed / overridden in the Field module.
Settings can be defined for a specific project in CGM Specifications. Project Specification settings trump Admin settings.
