3x6in Cylinder Test with Unbonded Caps for Gilson AC-450, AC-650

3x6in Cylinder Test with Unbonded Caps for Gilson AC-450, AC-650

3x6in Cylinder Test Sets are designed to adapt Concrete Compression Machines for accurate compressive strength testing of cylindrical concrete specimens or other materials. These test sets ensure proper alignment, positioning, and support of samples, facilitating testing that meets ASTM and AASHTO standards. The sets are essential for laboratories and testing facilities seeking reliable and repeatable results.

Several models are available to accommodate different specimen preparation methods, including:

• Cylinders prepared with capping compounds or ground ends (bonded caps).
• Cylinders with neoprene pad caps and retainers (unbonded caps), offering a simpler, faster alternative to bonded caps.

These test sets are compatible with AC-450 and AC-650 Automatic Compression Machines, as well as the BC-450 Basic Compression Machine, providing flexibility across various equipment types.

Applications and Benefits:

• Ensures compliance with AASHTO T 22 and ASTM C39/39M standards.
• Improves testing accuracy and repeatability by securely positioning specimens.
• Reduces preparation time when using unbonded caps with neoprene pads.

Whether for research, quality control, or compliance testing, 3x6in Cylinder Test Sets are a crucial tool for achieving dependable compressive strength results in concrete materials.
