ASTM C470 Compliant Concrete Cylinder Molds, Plastic, 4x8in

ASTM C470 Compliant Concrete Cylinder Molds, Plastic, 4x8in

Features

1. Precision and Consistency: Concrete cylinders are designed to form test cylinders vertically, for a precise and consistent shape of concrete specimens. This is key to getting accurate test results.

2. Durable: Made from tough material, these are long lasting and deformation resistant. They are a reliable option for consistent testing without wear and tear affecting results.

3. Thickness: 0.25 inches (6.2 mm) thickness provides the strength and stability. This spec ensures the molds can withstand concrete pressure without compromising the shape of the test cylinders.

4. Easy to Remove: Designed for ease of use, concrete cylinders make removing test cylinders easy after setting. This minimizes the risk of damaging the specimens and ensures test results are intact.

5. Multiple Sizes: Available in various sizes including 6x12 inches, these molds fit different test cylinder diameters. This means exact equivalents in dimensions, meets different testing requirements.

6. Wide Application: Used in construction materials testing labs and on construction sites, concrete cylinder molds are a must have for quality control and assurance in construction projects. They are a convenient way to form concrete test cylinders.

7. Standards Compliance: Using concrete cylinder molds ensures compliance to standards, including ASTM C470/C470M. This provides explanatory material for the testing process, so all procedures meet industry standards. Notes and footnotes within the standard text are not to be considered as requirements but provide important explanatory material.

8. Unit Flexibility: Designed to work with SI units or inch-pound, these molds are flexible and convenient. This means the molds are considered as standard, for different measurement systems. Values stated in either measurement system should be used independently to ensure compliance with the standards.

Benefits of Plastic Molds

Plastic molds for forming concrete test cylinders vertically have many benefits. They are light and impact resistant, easy to handle and transport. Reusable they are a cost effective option for construction materials testing. They have a smooth surface finish which is critical for getting accurate test results. Easy to clean and maintain reduces the risk of contamination, the surface. They are also lightweight and easy to clean. They are also durable and performance. The thickness is 0.25 inches (6.2 mm) of the thickness of molds is 0.25 inches (6.2 mm) which contributes to their durability and performance. According to the ASTM C470/C470M standard specification plastic molds must meet certain requirements including exact equivalents in either SI units or inch-pound units so they are suitable for various testing needs.

Applications of Concrete Cylinder Molds

Concrete cylinder molds are essential tools in construction materials testing, research and quality control. They are used to form concrete test cylinders vertically which are then tested for properties like compressive strength and elasticity. Available in various sizes and types including reusable and single use molds they cater to different testing requirements. The ASTM C470/C470M standard specification provides detailed guidelines for the design, materials and dimensions of these molds so they meet industry standards. By using concrete cylinder molds professionals can get accurate and consistent test results which is key to verifying the quality and reliability of construction materials.

Comparison with Other Materials

Compared to other materials like steel or aluminum plastic molds have many advantages. They are lighter and easy to handle, reduces labor cost and effort. Plastic molds are also cheaper to produce, makes them a cost effective option for many testing applications. The smooth surface finish of plastic molds minimizes the risk of surface defects, gets more accurate test results. However plastic molds are not as durable as metal molds and may need to be replaced more often. The ASTM C470/C470M standard specification outlines the requirements for various materials including plastic, steel and aluminum so all molds meet certain standards including exact equivalents in either SI units or inch-pound units. For high-quality testing equipment like the Bronze Cube Mold (50 x 50mm), which provides reliable performance in diverse testing applications, Certified Material Testing Products offers a range of options.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care and maintenance is important to ensure the longevity and performance of concrete cylinder molds. After each use, the molds should be thoroughly cleaned and dried to prevent contamination. They should be stored in a dry, cool place to avoid damage. Regular check on the wall thickness is necessary and any signs of wear or damage should be addressed immediately. The ASTM C470/C470M standard specification provides guidelines for the care and maintenance of both reusable and single use molds. Notes and footnotes, excluding those in tables and figures are explanatory material to help users understand the requirements of the standard. Following these guidelines ensures conformance and accurate test results.
