The most common sample type for tests of concrete compressive strength is the concrete cylinder. There are other ways to determine concrete strength, and some methods may be more cost-effective and arguably better, but concrete cylinder testing remains the standard for acceptance. Well-made concrete cylinders are easy and inexpensive to produce.

The cylinders are immediately placed where they are going to stay until the concrete sets up. During this phase, what C 31 calls initial curing, the cylinders can stay in this location for up to 48 hours, but must be kept at a temperature between 60° and 80° F and in a moist environment. C 31 gives us several ideas on ways to achieve this
