Concrete Cylinder Transport Rack, 4x8in
Cylinder Transport Racks prevent damage to concrete strength specimens during transport and makes it easy to handle multiple cylinder samples. Transporting concrete samples safely and properly is key to quality control. Concrete test cylinders are used for compressive strength tests and must be kept intact during transport. Racks can also be used to protect cylinders in Curing Boxes or in the Field Curing Chest during initial curing.
Concrete Cylinder Transport Rack for 4x8in Concrete Specimens holds eight 4x8in (102x203mm) concrete cylinders, with or without molds for curing and transport. Two racks will fit in the Field Curing Chest.
Features:
-
Holds and transports multiple cylinders
-
Eliminates loose specimens and prevents damage during transport by holding the cylinders in place
-
Fits in Field Curing Chest
Dimensions 19 x 9.5 x 5.4in (483 x 241 x 138mm), WxDxH
Concrete Cylinder Transport
Concrete cylinder transport is a big deal in the construction and industrial world where transporting concrete cylinders safely and securely is key to quality control and safety regulations. Concrete cylinders are used to test the compressive strength of concrete and transporting them requires specialized equipment to prevent damage and get accurate test results. Cylinder transport racks are designed to meet these requirements, a safe and easy way to transport concrete cylinders.
Features and Benefits
The 4x8in concrete cylinder transport rack is a favorite for transporting concrete cylinders, it has several features and benefits. It holds multiple 4x8in concrete cylinders, perfect for large scale testing. It has anchor holes to be secured to a truck bed, eliminates loose specimens and prevents damage during transport. It also has room for compression pads so the concrete cylinders are properly cushioned during transport. 4x8in concrete cylinder transport rack is a versatile tool for all testing needs, a must have for quality control and safety regulations.
Concrete Cylinder Testing
Concrete cylinder testing is a big deal in the construction and industrial world where the compressive strength of concrete is tested for quality control and safety regulations. The testing process involves several steps, sampling, molding, curing and testing. Concrete cylinders are cast on-site or in the lab and then cured in a controlled environment to simulate real world conditions. Then the cylinders are tested for compressive strength using a concrete compression machine to get accurate results to ensure the quality and safety of the concrete mix.
Why Proper Curing Conditions for Concrete Cylinders Matter
Proper curing conditions is key for concrete cylinders to get accurate test results and quality control. Concrete cylinders must be cured in a controlled environment, with temperature and humidity levels that simulates real world conditions. Field curing chests and curing rooms are designed to provide these conditions so the concrete cylinders are cured properly and accurately. Improper curing conditions will result to inaccurate test results, compromising the quality and safety of the concrete mix.
Getting Accurate Compressive Strength Test Results
Getting accurate compressive strength test results is a big deal in the construction and industrial world where quality control and safety regulations is top priority. To get accurate results, concrete cylinders must be tested using a concrete compression machine following standard test methods such as ASTM C39/AASHTO T 22. The testing process involves several steps, logging the cylinders into the lab’s concrete sample registry, removing them from their molds and placing them into the final curing environment without delay. Proper capping and preparation of the concrete cylinders is also a must to get accurate test results.
