Ready-mix ticket

Trade jargonOhio homeowner glossaryCC-BY-4.0

TL;DR

A ready-mix ticket is the batch document the concrete plant prints for every truckload, recording mix design, strength class, water added, admixtures, batch time, and yardage delivered. ASTM C94 specifies what it must contain, and the time stamp matters because concrete should be placed within about 90 minutes of batching.

Definition

What it means

A ready-mix ticket is the batch document the concrete plant prints for every truckload, recording mix design, strength class, water added, admixtures, batch time, and yardage delivered. ASTM C94 specifies what it must contain, and the time stamp matters because concrete should be placed within about 90 minutes of batching. Contractors keep the tickets as proof of what was ordered versus delivered—the first document examined when a slab tests weak or scales in winter.
