What records are users required to maintain to keep track of pad usage?

  1. Supplier's contact information

  2. Manufacturer's warranty details

  3. Date placed in service and pad durometer

  4. Only the number of uses

The correct answer is: Date placed in service and pad durometer

Maintaining records of the date a pad is placed in service and its durometer is essential for ensuring proper usage and longevity of the pad. The durometer indicates the hardness of the pad material, which can directly affect performance during concrete strength testing. By keeping track of both the service date and the durometer, users can assess when a pad is due for replacement or if it is no longer performing effectively. This data helps in the management of testing equipment and ensures compliance with quality control standards, thereby contributing to more accurate concrete strength test results. While contact information of suppliers and warranty details are important in their own right, they do not specifically aid in assessing the operational status and usability of pads. Simply tracking the number of uses does not provide sufficient information to ensure that pads continue to meet the necessary specifications for reliable testing.
