Paragon Products 1202-5012, 4x8 Concrete Test Cylinder (36 per case, Yellow)
The Paragon Products 1202-5012, 4x8 Concrete Cylinder is designed for accurate concrete strength and quality testing. These are made from one piece of non-absorbent injected plastic so they will not deform and maintain their shape and dimensions. The bright yellow makes them visible on site for clarity and efficiency during testing.
Key Features:
-
Size: Each cylinder is 8" (203mm) tall and 4" (102mm) wide, standard size for concrete testing.
-
Material: Made from durable non-absorbent injected plastic, these cylinders can withstand various environmental conditions, making them good for use across the USA. This material gives them an unlimited shelf life and can be reused multiple times without losing integrity.
-
Packaging: 36 per case, each case has a domed plastic lid for storage and shipping. Designed for stacking and space efficiency, 30 cases fit on a pallet.
-
Compliance with Standard Test Method: Meets AASHTO M205, AASHTO T22, AASHTO T23, AASHTO T126, AASHTO T198, ASTM C31, ASTM C39, ASTM C192, ASTM C470, ASTM C496. This compliance allows for use with various concrete cylinder testing methods and conditions.
-
Applications: For compressive strength testing and quality control of fresh concrete, these are a must have for construction projects, research labs, water storage tanks, and quality assurance programs for protecting concrete. The consistent shape and dimensions provide accurate and repeatable results, they are the standard in the USA and beyond. Note: The compressive strength results form fresh concrete testing from these standard field cured cylinders do not represent the in-place compressive strength of the concrete but the potential compressive strength of the concrete after it has been discharged from the Ready Mixed concrete truck.
Accessories:
-
Tamping Rods: Hemispherical tips, used for consolidating concrete specimens during testing, slump, air content and compressive strength.
-
Concrete Strike-Off Bar: To remove excess material and level the surface of concrete specimens.
-
Stripping Tools: Screw-driver Style and T-Handle Stripping Tools for easy removal of cured concrete specimens from molds.
-
Rubber Mallet: 2.25" hard rubber face, to remove field cured concrete specimen from plastic cylinder and to consolidate concrete in unit weight measures.

Product Description and Specifications
Concrete cylinders are a must have in the construction industry to form and test concrete samples. These molds are made of durable weather resistant materials like plastic, steel or cast iron to withstand various environmental conditions. The plastic molds are non-absorbent and retain their shape for consistent and reliable results. These meet industry specifications such as ASTM C470, C31, C192, AASHTO M 205, R 39, T 23. Available in 6x12in, 4x8in, 3x6in, 2x4in sizes to cover all your testing needs.
Uses and Applications of Concrete Cylinders
Concrete cylinders are used in the construction industry to test the compressive strength of concrete, a critical factor in ensuring building and infrastructure integrity, and testing can occur right off the Ready Mixed Concrete Truck for acceptance testing. They are not only used on construction sites but also in research and development labs to test new concrete mix designs and materials. Quality control by capping cylindrical concrete specimens also relies on concrete cylinders to monitor concrete production consistency and quality. One of the biggest advantages of these cylinders is their reusability, making them a cost effective solution for frequent testing. Their performance and reliability makes them a favorite among professionals across all industries.
Handling and Testing Procedures
Proper handling and testing of concrete cylinders is critical to get accurate and reliable results. The initial curing concrete test specimens and its process is very important; cylinders must be stored in a controlled environment with a temperature range of 60-80°F to cure properly. During transportation and handling, protect the cylinders from any damage that can affect the test results. Compression testing is the standard method to determine the compressive strength of the concrete. This involves applying a gradual load to the cylinder until it fails, the data obtained is used to calculate the concrete strength. Follow these procedures to ensure test results integrity and accuracy.
