2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap, 50 Durometer

2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap, 50 Durometer

2in (50.8mm) Neoprene Pads for Compression Testing of Concrete Cylinders

The 2in Neoprene Pads are essential components for accurate compressive strength testing of 2in diameter concrete cylinders. These pads, sold individually, ensure proper load distribution by flowing during compression to fill surface irregularities in cylinder ends. This guarantees uniform load application for reliable and consistent test results.

Key Features:

• Material & Thickness: Made of durable neoprene, each pad measures 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches (12.7mm) thick.
• Available Hardness Options: Designed to meet a range of testing needs:
  • 50 durometer: Ideal for concrete strengths from 1,500–6,000 psi (10–40 MPa).
  • 60 durometer: Suited for concrete strengths from 2,500–7,000 psi (17–48 MPa).
  • 70 durometer: Best for high-strength concrete ranging from 4,000–12,000 psi (28–83 MPa).
• Reusable: Each pad can be reused for up to 100 tests, as per ASTM C1231 standards, ensuring cost efficiency.

Compatibility:

• Specifically used for testing 2in diameter concrete cylinders.
• Compatible with 2.125in (54mm) rock cores, offering versatility for additional testing needs.
• Works in conjunction with a 2in Steel Retainer Set (sold separately), which includes two steel rings to hold the pads securely at each end of the concrete cylinder during testing.

Why Use Neoprene Pads?

Neoprene pads are critical for ensuring quality results in compressive strength testing. By filling irregularities in the cylinder ends during compression, they reduce the risk of uneven load application and improve accuracy. These pads are especially beneficial when testing cylinders with less-than-perfectly finished ends, as they help comply with ASTM and AASHTO standards.

Additional Information:

• Meets Industry Standards:
  • AASHTO T22
  • ASTM C1231
• Packaging: Sold individually. Note: Two pads are required for a single compression test.
• Bulk Option: Purchase 12 pads for one box to meet larger testing needs efficiently.

Whether you are testing standard concrete cylinders or high-strength mixes, these neoprene pads provide a reliable testing solution. Ensure your lab is equipped with the right durometer pads for accurate and efficient concrete strength testing.
