Gauge Studs for Prism Molds, Pkg 10

ASTM C1012 Gauge Studs for Accurate Mortar Bar Testing

Gauge Studs

Gauge Studs are precision-engineered 316 stainless steel knurled and threaded measurement studs designed for use in cement prism molds during casting of length change samples. These durable studs ensure a perfect fit with the top and bottom anvils of the Length Comparator, enabling accurate and reliable measurements of length change in various cement and mortar testing applications. Each package contains 10 high-quality studs that are built to withstand demanding laboratory conditions.

Key Features:

• 316 Stainless Steel Construction: Provides superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.
• Knurled and Threaded Design: Ensures easy insertion into prism molds and secure placement for consistent results.
• Precision Fit: Designed to align perfectly with the anvils of the Length Comparator for accurate measurements.
• Versatile Application: Compatible with various cement prism molds, making them essential for several standard cement and mortar testing methods.

Gauge Studs are a critical component for conducting precise and reliable tests on cement and mortar bars. They are specifically required for use with cement prism molds during expansion and shrinkage testing to meet industry standards.
