CPAC Quality ControlCPAC Quality Control staff take a sample of poured cement for a compressive strength test. They will let it dry for 2 weeks and then remove the concrete sample from the form. It is taken to a testing center where the stated KSC (Kilograms per Square Centimeter) compressive strength specification of the concrete is tested. A report will be generated.
