Vertical Cylinder Capper for 2x4in, 3x6in Concrete Cylinder Molds

Vertical Cylinder Capper for 2x4in and 3x6in Concrete Molds

Product Description:

Achieve perfectly smooth, parallel, and right-angle end surfaces on your hardened concrete test cylinders with our Vertical Cylinder Capper. This essential piece of equipment is designed to ensure your samples meet the precise specifications required for accurate compressive strength testing.

The vertical design simplifies the capping process. After filling the base's recess with molten capping compound, the hardened concrete test cylinder is placed securely against the upright guide. This ensures a consistent, perpendicular cap every time, minimizing irregularities that could compromise test results.

Built for durability and longevity, the fixture is manufactured from high-quality, 5/8" thick steel. The base plate is precision-ground to a tolerance of within 0.002", guaranteeing a flat and stable surface for capping. To further extend the life of the device, the capper can be easily disassembled for cleaning or for resurfacing the base plate as needed.

Key Features:

• Ensures smooth, perpendicular end surfaces for accurate strength testing.
