For the concrete construction, finishing process is inevitable for crack control and improving permeability. The finishing process is closely related with setting time, but currently, the timing of the finishing process is not managed with scientifically but feeling of the workers. In this research, therefore, by comparing with the setting time measured with penetrating method, the feasibility of durometer for measuring setting time was analyzed. As a result, there was a high relationship between setting time measured with penetration method and durometer. Therefore, it is expected that using durometer can be a good solution for assessing setting time for finishing process.

The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of estimating optimum surface finish time of the fresh concrete placed at the job site by applying a surface hardness test meter(Durometer). Tests are carried out by measuring and comparing the Penetration resistance test and hardness test by Durometer. Penetration resistance tester and improved Durometer are similar, but the higher the temperature, the higher the setting time, and the higher the correlation was shown. When the hardness value of the improved Durometer is about 50 HD, it is found that the initial and 80 HD represent the end. It is expected that this will be useful in determining the finish time of the surface at the actual site.

In the previous study, durometer, namely rubber hardness tester Was used to confirm the possibility of using the setting time of concrete for determination. in this study, the possibility of using condensation time judgment condensation estimation system by comparing the measuring station setting estimation system Measuring needle of the proctor penetration resistance tester by newly making a measurement needle and refining the coagulation estimation system Want to make sure. As a result of this study, it was possible to use one condensation estimation system showing similar correlation between the two types of durometer showing high correlation with the penetration resistance value of proctor testers, It is considered to be fruitful to use the dew condensation estimation system for determining the setting time.
