Deslauriers 2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap, 60 Duro (2/Pk)
The Neoprene Compression Pad flows into irregularities and distributes the test load uniformly without creating air pockets to assure consistent breaks. Patented “stay in place” nubs, secure pads into cups.
Compression pads are available in several hardnesses.
50 duro for design strength 1500 to 6000 psi.
60 duro for design strength 2500 to 7000 psi.
70 duro for design strength 4000 to 12,000 psi*.
*Qualifying tests must be performed for strength over 7,000 psi per ASTM.
Refer to ASTM C1231 for max uses, qualification test, etc. Our sales personnel are always available to assist.
2in Neoprene Pads come in 50, 60, or 70 durometer. They are used when testing compressive strength of concrete cylinders and meet ASTM C1231/1231M and AASHTO T 22 standards. The pads are 0.5in (12.7mm) thick and flow during compression to fill irregularities in cylinder ends and ensure uniform load distribution. The 2in Steel Retainer Set are sold separately and required to hold the pads at both ends of the cylinder. Two pads are required. Pads can be used up to 100 times.
Deslauriers 2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Caps Meets Test Methods:
- AASHTO T22
- ASTM C 1231

The Deslauriers 2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap is a high-quality product designed to ensure consistent breaks and accurate test results when testing the compressive strength of concrete cylinders. This capping pad cap is made from neoprene, a durable and flexible material that flows into irregularities in cylinder ends, distributing the test load uniformly without creating air pockets.
With its patented "stay in place" nubs, these pad caps securely hold the neoprene pads in cups, ensuring that they do not shift or move during the compression process. This feature guarantees that the load is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the cylinder, leading to accurate and reliable test results.
The Deslauriers 2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap is available in three different hardness options: 50 duro, 60 duro, and 70 duro. The 60 duro option is recommended for design strength ranging from 2500 to 7000 psi. However, it is important to note that qualifying tests must be performed for strength over 7000 psi per ASTM standards.
These neoprene pad caps meet the test methods specified in the AASHTO T22 and ASTM C 1231 standards, ensuring that they meet the necessary requirements for accurate and reliable testing. They are also compatible with the 2in Steel Retainer Set, which is sold separately and required to hold the pads at both ends of the cylinder.
Each pack of the Deslauriers 2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap includes two pads, and each pad can be used up to 100 times. This makes it a cost-effective solution for testing compressive strength, as it offers multiple uses before needing replacement.
Overall, the Deslauriers 2in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap is a reliable and durable product that ensures consistent breaks and accurate test results when testing the compressive strength of concrete cylinders. It is a must-have tool for construction professionals and engineers who prioritize accurate and reliable testing in their projects.
