Cement Prism Mold for Volume Change Tests, 3in x 3in x 10in
Supports the following standards: ASTM C878
These molds are designed to create prism test bars with a 10" effective gauge length. They include removable partitions, a base, and end plates. The effective gauge length is measured from the inner ends of the studs. The molds produce cement prism specimens that are 11.25" long, while the total outside length, including the studs, measures 11.625".
This size is ideal for conducting volume change tests according to ASTM C878 standards.
The ASTM C878 standard outlines a test method for determining the volume change of hydraulic-cement mortar or concrete specimens due to chemical reactions. This test is important in evaluating the potential for expansion or shrinkage over time, which can impact the durability and performance of cement materials.
Our Cement Prism Mold is made from durable steel and has a seamless construction to ensure accurate and repeatable results. The removable partitions allow for easy demolding of the prism specimen without damaging it. The end plates also have holes for attaching dial gauges, making it easy to measure the changes in length during testing.
The 3in x 3in x 10in size makes this mold suitable for various standard test methods, including ASTM C109 and AASHTO T 106. It can also be used for testing other cementitious materials such as mortar or grout.
Using our Cement Prism Mold, you can confidently conduct volume change tests on your cement specimens to ensure their long-term performance and durability. Our high-quality mold will provide accurate results and hold up to repeated use. Trust in our products for all your testing needs.
