6in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap, 70 Durometer

6in Unbonded Capping Neoprene Pad Cap, 70 Durometer

Neoprene Pad Caps for Concrete Cylinder Compression Testing

Our 6in (152.4mm) Neoprene Pad Caps are essential for accurately testing the compressive strength of 6x12in concrete cylinders. Designed to meet industry standards ASTM C1231/1231M and AASHTO T 22, these pads ensure reliable and consistent results during testing. Each pad is 0.5in (12.7mm) thick and is engineered to flow during compression, filling any irregularities in cylinder ends to provide uniform load distribution.

Key Features:

• Available Durometer Options: Choose from 50, 60, or 70 hardness ratings to match your testing needs.
  • 50 Durometer: For concrete design strengths ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 psi (10-40 MPa).
  • 60 Durometer: For concrete design strengths ranging from 2,500 to 7,000 psi (17-50 MPa).
  • 70 Durometer: For concrete design strengths ranging from 4,000 to 12,000 psi (28-80 MPa), with optional user qualification testing for higher strength applications.

Versatile and Durable:

• Reusable: Each pad can be used for up to 100 tests, offering excellent durability and cost efficiency.
• Sold Individually or in Packages: Purchase individually or in a box of 12, depending on your testing volume.
• Compatibility: Requires the 6in Steel Retainer Set (sold separately) to securely hold the pads in place at both ends of the cylinder.

Essential for Compression Testing:

The use of neoprene pad caps streamlines the compression testing process, minimizing time spent preparing concrete cylinders. These pads are a practical alternative to older methods like sulfur capping or grinding and are specifically designed to provide precise and reliable results.

Standards Compliance:

Our Neoprene Pad Caps meet the following testing standards:

• AASHTO T22
• ASTM C1231/1231M

Additional Options:

Neoprene pads are part of a comprehensive compression testing system. Pair them with a 6in Steel Retainer Set for optimal performance. The retainers are required to hold the pads at both ends of the cylinder and ensure proper alignment during testing.

Why Choose Our Neoprene Pads?

• Simplifies cylinder preparation
• Provides consistent, reliable results
• Meets stringent testing standards
• Durable and reusable for cost-effective testing

Whether you are testing concrete for general construction or high-performance applications, our Neoprene Pad Caps ensure accurate and efficient testing every time.
