Vertical Cylinder Cappers: Reliable Solutions for Concrete Test Cylinders

Vertical Cylinder Cappers are the industry standard for effectively and accurately capping concrete test cylinders. Designed to maintain the cylinder’s orientation perfectly perpendicular to the bottom plate, these cappers ensure parallel end surfaces, which is essential for precise results during concrete compression testing.

The process is simple yet highly efficient: the retaining ring is filled with molten capping compound, and the cylinder is placed into the compound-filled ring. The cylinder is held securely against the vertical guides until the capping compound solidifies, creating a smooth, even surface. This ensures accurate loading and reliable test results.

Every bottom plate is precision-ground to a planeness of 0.002in (0.05mm), ensuring consistency and durability. Over time, the vertical guides can be removed to allow re-grinding of the base, maintaining proper planeness and extending the product’s lifespan. The capper also features corner mounting holes, allowing it to be securely fastened to a work surface for added stability.

The 4x8in (102x203mm) capper is specifically designed for cylinders of this size, featuring vertical uprights to hold cylinders perfectly aligned. Its 0.625in (15.875mm) thick steel base is built for durability and can be re-ground as needed to meet planeness requirements over time.
