6x12in Concrete Cylinder Mold, Steel Mold (1/4in Wall Thick)

6x12in Concrete Cylinder Mold – Strong Steel Build for Consistent Results

Concrete cylinder molds are used in the construction and materials testing industries to create uniform concrete specimens for strength and quality testing. They shape and hold fresh concrete in a precise cylindrical form, such as the 6 x 12 inch size, until the material has cured and is ready to test. Available in various sizes and made from durable materials like steel, plastic or cast iron, these molds ensure each cylinder meets dimensional and performance standards. The robust design allows for repeated use in harsh environments, making them a great choice for both field and lab use. By providing consistent specimen shape and size, concrete cylinder molds play a critical role in verifying concrete mixes meet requirements for safe and long lasting construction projects.

• Includes stripping tools for handling and mold use

Meets: AASHTO R 39 , AASHTO T 23 , AASHTO M 205M/M 205 , ASTM C192/192M , ASTM C31/31M , ASTM C470/470M, NIST 114R Portland Cement Fineness Standard

Plastic cylinder molds have a smooth surface finish for precise test results and ease of use. The top of the plastic molds has a lipped design to help secure the sealing lid and ensure positive moisture retention. Each mold comes with a lid, with domed or flat lids available as accessories. Note that lids are sold separately for some models and reusable lids can be purchased separately to fit your testing needs.

Specifications

Concrete cylinder molds come in various specifications to fit different testing needs and project requirements. Plastic concrete cylinder molds are popular due to their lightweight construction, smooth molded plastic surfaces and ease of use. They are weather resistant and have unlimited shelf life which eliminates common job site storage problems. They have easy specimen removal design to reduce the risk of damaging the cylinder during de-molding. Molds come in several standard sizes, 4x8 and 6x12 are the most common for concrete testing. Lids which are sold separately can be flat or domed to fit specific testing protocols. For organizations that want to brand or identify their molds custom printing is available on orders of 24 cases or more to print directly on them. These features make plastic concrete cylinder molds a practical and efficient choice for many concrete testing applications.

Comparison with Other Molds

When selecting molds for concrete testing professionals can choose from plastic concrete cylinder molds, steel molds and cast iron molds. Each type has its own advantages. Plastic concrete cylinder molds are lightweight, easy to use and have smooth area for easy stripping and removal. Steel cylinder molds are durable and can withstand repeated use in harsh environments making them ideal for high volume or long term testing. Molds are the most robust and can withstand high temperatures and deformation making them suitable for special or demanding testing. Compared to other molds concrete cylinder molds whether plastic, steel or cast iron are specifically designed to deliver the dimensional uniformity, accuracy and reliability required for concrete testing so every cylinder produced is suitable for critical strength and quality testing.
