Capping Set

Capping Set: For correct compressive strength of concrete cylinders, the end surfaces of the specimen must be truly flat. If they are not using capping compound and a capper, the faces are plastered flat. Capping set can be used for cylindrical specimen like concrete cylinders of cores. It can be used in laboratory or in field.

Capping Set- Horizontal : For 15cm dia x 30cm length cylinders. specifications : the set comprises of a cylinder capper, a cylinder carrier and a ladle. The cylinder capper consists of a base on which two accurately machined plates are mounted vertically. Once plate is firmly fixed and the other one is adjustable horizontally. Two plates are provided with holders for holding the cylinder in position. The holders are split and the bottom half of each holder is fixed firmly and the top half of each is removable and bolted down to the lower half. On the upper parts of the vertical plates 'v's are provided for pouring the capping compound. Two spacers are also provided. Complete with cylinder carrier and ladle for molten compound.

Capping Set - Vertical : For capping compression cylinder specimens. This apparatus can be used both in the laboratory and in the field. The specimens capped in this apparatus have plane parallel faces.

Other Accessories With Capping Set : Cylinder carrier : for carrying the concrete cylinders in the laboratory and in the field. Double handles make it easy to hold the cylinder during capping operations. Complete with snap clamp and cushioning lining. Can be used both for 15cm dia and 10cm dia cylinders. capping mould : for capping the concrete cylinders, it consists of an accurately machined plate with a recess for 15mm dia specimen. warmer : an electrically heated and thermostatically controlled bath for melting the capping compound. Supplied with cover and handle. Suitable for operation on 230 volts A. C. Single phase. capping compound : used for capping the ends of concrete cylinders to be tested. Available in packs of 5 kg. bowl & ladle : metallic bowl is used to carry the capping compound and ladle is used to pour molten capping compound into the groves between specimen and capping plate. Supplied as set.
