Cylindrical Specimen Capping
Equipment
TO-35902 Capping Mold, for Capping
100mm dia Concrete Cylinders.
Optional Accessories
TO-35701 Capping Compound,
Pack of 5kg
TO-35702 Warmer for melting the
capping Compound
TO-35703 Bowl, Metallic Bowl for
carrying the capping compound
TO-35704 Ladle, Metallic for pouring
the molten capping Compound
System Description
It is essential that the ends of the
concrete cylinder specimens are flat and
parallel for compressive strength tests;
if they aren’t, the end surfaces must be
capped with capping compound, using
capping sets to obtain these conditions.
These capping sets are designed for use
both in the field and in the laboratory.
The capping set comprises a base with
an upright, which serves as a guide for
positioning the capping plate and a
cylinder. The capping plate is machined
to keep molten compound precise, and
to position the cylinder. The set is
supplied complete with cylinder carrier
and ladle.
