Used for compression tests on concrete cylinder specimens, as an alternative method to the sulphur capping and grinding machine.
Two steel capping retainers are applied on the two flat surfaces of the cylinder.
Two neoprene pads are put between them, for a better load distribution.
The neoprene pads are available in two models:
- 60 shore hardness pads for expected strength from 10 to 48 MPa
- 70 shore hardness pads for expected strength over 48 MPa
(Different models are available for 100x200 mm, 150x300 mm, 160x320 mm, 4x8” and 6x12” cylinder samples.)
