Material Sampling & Testing Training

This comprehensive course is specifically designed for construction inspectors seeking to earn their Materials Sampling & Testing certification. It provides in-depth instruction and hands-on training in the proper procedures for sampling and testing construction materials, with a primary focus on concrete.

The curriculum thoroughly covers all tests outlined in the Concrete Materials section, ensuring that students are well-versed in industry-standard practices. In addition, the course includes training in Random Sampling techniques and key AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) procedures, including R 90 (Sampling of PCC), R 67 (Sampling Bituminous Materials), R 97 (Sampling Aggregate Products), and T 310 (In-Place Density and Moisture Content of Soil and Soil-Aggregate by Nuclear Methods).

Students will also become familiar with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (OHD) testing standards, including OHD L 5 (Sampling Fresh Concrete) and OHD L 14, Method II (Sampling and Testing Aggregates). By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to confidently perform required tests in the field and meet the certification requirements for materials sampling and testing.
