-
Case Quantity: 50/case
-
Material: Non-absorbing, one piece injected plastic
-

These concrete test cylinder molds are weather resistant, climate resistant and have unlimited shelf life. They are also recyclable and biodegradable. A special additive is added to the plastic that allows microbes in landfills and composting facilities to break down the plastic over time.
Performance:
-
Durability: These molds are heat, light and cement paste resistant. They will retain their round specimen shape throughout the testing process. Can be used to make test cylinders from a composite sample to test the potential strength of the concrete. Cylinders are compression tested to meet project strength requirements. Can be used to make field cured cylinders which are cured in the same environment as the actual concrete structure. Final curing is critical to maintain specific moisture and temperature conditions for the concrete to develop its designed strength. Initial curing is also important to minimize moisture loss and temperature fluctuations immediately after the concrete is poured. Can be used to test ready mixed concrete to meet project strength requirements.
-
Writable Surface: Smooth surface for writing directly on the mold for easy data recording.
-
Environmentally Friendly: Biodegradable, reduces plastic waste. A water storage tank is also required to maintain optimal moisture conditions during curing.
Available Accessories:
-
V045.004-887-C Domed Lids: 250/case. For 4x8in molds. Additional protection and convenience.
-
Tamping Rods: Graduated tamping rods with hemispherical tips for consolidating capping cylindrical concrete specimens for slump, air content and strength tests.
-
Concrete Strike-Off Bar: For removing excess material from the molds to get a flat surface for testing.
-
Screwdriver Style and T-Handle Stripping Tools: For quicker and easier stripping of concrete test cylinders from the molds.
-
Rubber Mallet: 2.25in hard rubber face. For removing cured concrete specimen from the mold and consolidating concrete in unit weight measures.

Product Description and Features
Our 3x6in Concrete Sample Cylinders are designed to form concrete test cylinders to the highest standards of quality and precision. Made from premium non-absorbent plastic, these cylinders have a smooth surface that acts as a moisture barrier for accurate test results. Each cylinder is one piece, so all samples are uniform. 3x6in is perfect for testing smaller concrete samples and great for confined spaces. These concrete test cylinders are good for all testing environments, reliable and consistent.
Key Benefits and Applications
Our 3x6in Concrete Sample Cylinders have many benefits and uses, making them a must have in the construction process. Key features:
-
Accurate Compressive Strength: Meets the required strength specs for structural concrete.
-
Reliable Results: Consistent and repeatable results for quality control and acceptance testing.
-
Cost Effective: Economical way to test concrete composite sample without sacrificing quality.
-
Easy to Use: Easy to handle and transport.
-
Multi-Use: For use in various testing environments and conditions, lab to job site.
These cylinders are a must have for quality control, acceptance testing and research and development to ensure your concrete meets project specs.
Product Care and Handling
Proper care and handling of our 3x6in Concrete Sample Cylinders is important to maintain accuracy and longevity. Follow these guidelines:
-
Handle with Care: Avoid damage and scratches by handling gently.
-
Store Properly: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
-
Avoid Extremes: Don’t expose the cylinders to extreme temperatures, moisture or chemicals that can compromise them.
-
Regular Cleaning: Clean the field cured cylinders with mild soap and water to remove any residue.
-
Thorough Drying: Make sure the field cured cylinders are dry after cleaning to prevent water spots and contamination.
By following these care instructions you can keep your concrete test cylinders in top condition for accurate testing.
Industry Compliance and Standards
Our 3x6in Concrete Sample Cylinders meet industry standards:
-
ASTM C31: Standard Practice for Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field
