4x8in Cylinder Test with Bonded Caps for Gilson AC-250/AC-325
Cylinder Test Sets are essential accessories that enable Gilson's AC-250 and AC-325 Fully Automatic Compression Machines to perform accurate compressive strength testing on cylindrical specimens of concrete and other materials. These sets are designed to ensure compliance with stringent ASTM/AASHTO standards, providing proper support and precise positioning for samples of specified dimensions.
Gilson offers specialized Cylinder Test Sets to accommodate different specimen preparation methods:
- For Specimens with Capping Compound or Ground Ends (Bonded Caps): These sets are engineered to test cylinders that have been prepared with traditional sulfur capping compounds or have precisely ground ends, ensuring uniform load distribution during compression.
- For Specimens with Neoprene Pad Caps and Retainers (Unbonded Caps): These sets are designed for use with unbonded capping systems, which utilize neoprene pads and steel retainers. This method offers a convenient and often preferred alternative for routine testing, eliminating the need for capping compounds.
Both types of Cylinder Test Sets guarantee reliable and consistent test results, crucial for quality control and research in civil engineering and construction.
Meets Test Methods:
- AASHTO T22: Standard Method of Test for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
- ASTM C39: Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
