Machined out of brass, this bronze cube mold makes 3 cubes at once. This mold casts cubes in a diagonal arrangement with a detachable base plate and bronze clamps, facilitating easy handling and maintenance while reducing contamination risks. Stainless thumb screws hold halves together. Large upper surface strikeoff areamakes this a favorite. Optional items include an all brass top, or a cover plate to pour molten sulfur capping compounds down through taper holes for testing compressive strength. Est. ship Wt: 15 lbs

Our cube molds are designed to provide accurate and reliable results in cement testing, mortar penetration testing, and compressive strength testing. The features of our cube molds include:
-
Durable Metal Cube Molds: Crafted from high-grade materials such as bronze and stainless steel, our metal molds are built to withstand rigorous testing conditions. These materials ensure longevity and consistent performance, meeting specific ASTM and AASHTO standards.
-
High-Density Polyethylene Plastic Cube Molds: Resistant to cement, mortar, and mild acids, our high-density polyethylene plastic cube molds offer a robust alternative for various testing needs. Their resistance to chemical wear makes them ideal for repeated use in harsh environments.
-
Detachable Brass Base Plates and Self-Aligning Thumb Screws: The detachable brass base plates and self-aligning thumb screws ensure an even, tight fit, making handling and maintenance straightforward. These features minimize the risk of contamination and damage, ensuring uniform pressure during casting.
-
Diagonal Arrangement: Some of our cube molds feature a diagonal arrangement that prevents spreading during testing. This design element is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the samples and ensuring accurate test results.
-
Expansive Grout Cube Molds: Designed with detachable brass base plates and top plates, our expansive grout cube molds offer easy handling and maintenance. These cube molds are perfect for forming samples of expansive grout, ensuring reliable and consistent results in testing.
Product Features: Self Aligning Thumb Screws
Our cube molds are designed to produce precise and consistent results in cement testing, mortar penetration testing, and compressive strength testing. Made from high density polyethylene plastic or rugged metals like bronze and stainless steel, they are durable and long lasting. The removable detachable brass base plate and self-aligning thumb screws make handling and maintenance easy and minimize the chance of contamination or damage. The two mold halves are held together with diagonal arrangements and self-aligning thumb screws. The mold halves are held securely to ensure uniform pressure during casting which is critical for accurate results. Available in various shapes and sizes (50mm (2 inch) and 100mm (4 inch) sides) our cube molds meet specific ASTM and AASHTO standards for your testing needs.
Applications and Benefits in Cement Testing and Internal Quality Control Programs for Compressive Strength Cement Testing
Each cube mold with detachable base plate is used in internal quality control programs, cement testing, and mortar penetration testing. They are used to form samples for various testing applications, including mortar, concrete, and expansive grout, ensuring accurate and consistent results during compressive strength testing with capping compounds and providing a standard shape and size for material evaluation. They are used for testing cement mortar, grout mixtures, Portland cement testing, and capping compounds and are perfect for construction, engineering, and research applications. The benefits of using our cube molds are accurate and reliable results, easy handling and maintenance, and meeting ASTM and AASHTO standards. Our cube molds are engineered to fit together securely and the mold halves are held together to provide uniform pressure during casting to ensure reliable test results.
