During the steam curing process, the following details need to be paid attention to:
Steam curing should be carried out continuously without interruption to ensure that the components are in a steam environment during the curing period.
The heating rate should not be too fast to prevent cracks from occurring due to excessive temperature difference between the surface and the interior of the component.
In the constant temperature stage, the steam temperature and the temperature of the components should be kept consistent, and the curing should be carried out continuously until the specified curing time is reached.
The cooling phase should not be interrupted to prevent cracks in the components during the cooling process.
During the whole steam curing process, the humidity in the shed should be kept between 90 and 100 to prevent the surface of the components from drying out or getting wet.
After the end of steam curing, it is necessary to immediately enter the sprinkling curing stage to prevent the surface of the component from drying or getting wet.
During the curing process, the appearance and size changes of the components should be checked regularly to ensure that they meet the design requirements.
For some special components, such as prestressed concrete beams, etc., additional maintenance measures are also required to ensure their quality and safety.
In short, there are many details that need to be paid attention to in the process of steam curing, and it is necessary to operate in strict accordance with the specified construction plan to ensure the quality and safety of the components.
