4x8 Concrete Test Cylinders (36 per case, Yellow)

4x8 Concrete Test Cylinders (36 per Case, Yellow) – Standard for Strength Testing

The 4x8 Concrete Cylinder is a standard 4 x 8 cylinders for strength and quality testing. These are one piece of non-absorbent injected plastic so they won’t deform and will maintain their shape and dimensions. The bright yellow makes them visible on site for clarity and efficiency during testing.

Features:

• Size: Each cylinder is 8” (203mm) tall and 4“ (102mm) wide, standard 4 x 8 size for concrete testing.

• Material: Made from durable non-absorbent injected plastic, these cylinders can withstand various environmental conditions, good for use across the USA. This material gives them unlimited shelf life and can be reused multiple times without losing integrity.

• Packaging: 36 per case, each case has a domed lid to maintain proper curing conditions and ensure consistent results during storage and shipping. 30 cases fit on a pallet.

• Flat Lid Option: Flat lids are also available for these cylinder molds, a durable non-absorbent cover that protects specimens and ensures integrity during storage and testing.

• Compliance with Standard Test Method: Meets AASHTO M205, AASHTO T22, AASHTO T23, AASHTO T126, AASHTO T198, ASTM C31, ASTM C39, ASTM C192, ASTM C470, ASTM C496. This allows use with various concrete cylinder testing methods and conditions.

• Applications: For compressive strength testing and quality control of fresh concrete, these are a must have for construction projects, research labs, water storage tanks, and quality assurance programs for concrete. The consistent shape and dimensions provide accurate and repeatable results, they are the standard in the USA and beyond.

• Note: The compressive strength results from fresh concrete testing from these standard field cured cylinders do not represent the in-place compressive strength of the concrete but the potential compressive strength of the concrete after it has been discharged from the Ready Mixed concrete truck.

Accessories:* Tamping Rods: Hemispherical tips, for consolidating specimens during testing, slump, air content and compressive strength.

• Strike-Off Bar: To remove excess material and level the surface of specimens.

• Stripping Tools: Screw-driver Style and T-Handle Stripping Tools for easy removal of cured specimens.

• Rubber Mallet: 2.25” hard rubber face, to remove field cured specimen from plastic cylinder and to consolidate in unit weight measures.

Overview

Concrete test cylinders are essential tools in the construction industry, providing a reliable method for assessing the strength and durability of the mix used in a wide range of projects. The primary function of a concrete test cylinder mold is to create standardized test specimens that accurately reflect the properties of the mix sampled from the job site. This ensures that the results of concrete testing are both consistent and representative of the material’s true performance.

Modern concrete test cylinder molds are made from high quality materials such as smooth molded plastic, steel or cast iron. These materials are chosen for their weather resistant and non-absorbent properties, to maintain the integrity of the specimens and prevent contamination. The molded single-unit design of many plastic cylinder molds provides consistent dimensional uniformity, a critical factor in achieving accurate and repeatable test results.Proper storage of test cylinders is crucial to avoid job site storage problems and to preserve the integrity of the specimens. Cylinders should be stored in a dry, shaded area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to allow the concrete to cure under optimal conditions. Cylinders are available with flat or domed lids, so you can choose the best option for your application and meet industry standards such as ASTM and AASHTO.

Quality is the foundation of concrete testing and the use of test molds with unlimited shelf life and robust construction ensures long term reliability. These molds are easy to use with features like easy stripping and compatibility with specialized tools, making removal of cured specimens simple and efficient. Custom printing is also available for clear identification and tracking of test cylinders on busy job sites.

Whether you are focused on quality, compliance with specs or just looking for the most durable and reliable cylinders, these resources will help you ensure your concrete testing program meets the highest standards.

Product Description and Specifications

Concrete cylinders are a must have in the construction industry to form and test samples. These molds are made of weather resistant materials like plastic, steel or cast iron to withstand various environmental conditions. The plastic molds are non-absorbent and retain their shape for consistent and repeatable results. Meets industry standards such as ASTM C470, C31, C192, AASHTO M 205, R 39, T 23. Available in 6x12in, 4x8in, 3x6in, 2x4in sizes to cover all your testing needs.

Handling and Testing Procedures

Proper handling and testing of concrete cylinders is crucial to get accurate results. Initial curing of concrete test specimens and process is very important; cylinders must be stored in a controlled environment with temperature range of 60-80°F to cure properly. During transportation and handling, protect the cylinders from any damage that can affect the test results. Compression testing is the standard method to determine the compressive strength. This involves applying a gradual load to the cylinder until it fails, the data obtained is used to calculate the strength. Follow these procedures to ensure test results integrity and accuracy.
