3in Steel Retainer Set for Unbonded Cylinder Capping

3in Steel Retainer Set for Unbonded Cylinder Capping

3in Steel Retainer Set

The 3in Steel Retainer Set is designed for use with 3in Neoprene Pads (sold separately) in unbonded capping systems for compressive strength testing of 3in (76mm) diameter concrete cylinders. These retainers securely hold and confine the neoprene pads, ensuring proper alignment and uniform load distribution during compressive strength tests. They are placed at each end of the concrete cylinder prior to testing, providing a stable and reliable testing setup.

Each retainer is manufactured from high-quality alloy steel, precision-machined to meet strict dimensional tolerances, and plated both inside and out to resist corrosion and extend the product’s lifespan. The bearing surfaces are machined to be plane within 0.002in (0.05mm), ensuring accurate and repeatable test results. Durable and built for long-term use, these retainers are an essential component of any concrete testing setup. Sold in sets of 2 for added convenience.

Applications:

Ideal for laboratories and facilities conducting compressive strength testing of concrete cylinders, particularly when using unbonded capping systems.

Features:

• Durable alloy steel construction for long-lasting performance
• Corrosion-resistant plating for extended durability
• Precisely machined plane bearing surfaces for test accuracy
• Tight dimensional tolerances for reliable test setups
• Sold in sets of 2 for efficient use
