Gang Mold: Prism Mold, 1 x 1 x 10in, 2-Gang
2-Gang Prism Molds, 1x1x10in (25x25x254mm) cast Portland cement paste, mortar, or concrete prism specimens for length change testing. The mold has a base plate, removable partitions and end plates to allow the required length between ends of HM-268 Gauge Studs cast on ends of bars. Gang-molding is more efficient due to the dynamic action of producing different parts simultaneously from the same mold. Dimensions from outside end of gauge studs are 11.625in (296mm) long with 1x1in (25x25mm) specimen cross-section.
Made of steel.

Proper maintenance and care of gang-molded products are essential to ensure their longevity and functionality. When handling gang-molded items, note that they may be more prone to damage due to their shared mold origin. To account for this, it’s crucial to handle them with care, avoiding excessive force or stress that could cause breakage.
When storing gang-molded products, consider the size and base of each component to ensure they are properly secured and won’t get damaged. For example, if a product has a large sprue or protruding parts, it’s best to store it in a protective case or bag to prevent scratches or breakage.
Regular cleaning and inspection can also help maintain the condition of gang-molded products. Use a soft cloth and mild soap to wipe down surfaces, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the mold or harm the product.
If you’re interested in purchasing gang-molded products, there are several options available. Many online retailers sell gang-molded items, and you can often find them on the same page as other related products. When ordering, be sure to check the product description for details on the mold used and the production process, as this can give you an idea of the product’s quality and durability.
Some manufacturers also offer custom ordering options for gang-molded products, allowing you to choose specific components or colors. This can be a great way to get exactly what you need, but be sure to check the production time and cost before placing your order.
In some cases, gang-molded products may be sold as part of a larger set or bundle. Be sure to check the contents of the set and the price before making a purchase, as you may be able to find individual components at a lower cost.
